A full 2,000 of the veterans from Legio VIII Sicilia are settled at the revived Corinthus colony in Greece. What remains of the Eighth, ~2,100 veterans, are settled in the corresponding Fabianum and Maximiopolis. The promises of Atellus, to the Eighth, are fulfilled in full, hoping these veterans will have good lands and fresh new lives to enjoy within these sponsored colonies of his.
