'''Legio VI Victrix''' ("Victorious Sixth Legion") was a [[Roman legion|legion]] of the [[Imperial Roman army]] founded in 41 BC by the general [[Augustus|Octavian]] (who, as [[Augustus]], later became [[Ancient Rome|Rome]]'s first emperor). It was the twin legion of [[Legio VI Ferrata|VI ''Ferrata'']] and perhaps held veterans of that legion, and some soldiers kept to the traditions of the Caesarian legion.
