Soldier’s origins:
Italia: Florentia (CIL III 414 should be read as C. C]a[e]cina Sca[pt(ia)] [Fl]o[r(entia)]), Privernum (CIL III 353).
Names of the legion:
No nickname, just Legio XII, for instance on inscriptions of the veterans deducted to Ateste (CIL V 2502, 2520). Furthermore, likewise early, CIL IX 435, 6156, CIL X 7349, CIL XI 631. Doubtful: V 4377, XI 394. Subsequently also on coins of the veterans’ colonies Patrae and Ptolemais as well as in the writers (Tacitus and Josephus).
Leg.XII Fulminata, greek: keraunoforos, already in Augustus’ reign. Besides also Leg.XII Paterna (CIL X 1058) and Leg XII Victrix at Perusia (Ephem.Epigr.VI p.67 nr.80).
Leg. XII Fulminata C(erta) C(onstans). (CIL III 6768; Ephem.Epigr.VIII p.98, nr.368) since 175 CE.
Inscriptions with the nickname Aug(usta) have been proven to be incorrect, for instance CIL VI 5, 351, 1068, 1898, see also XII 685.
Legio XII Paterna
[1710]
LXVIIIa. Legio XII Paterna is only attested of a seemingly deducted veteran in Parma, CIL XI 1058, without doubt the same as Legio XII Fulminata
