Legio Nona Hispana (Ninth Spanish Legion)[1] was a Roman legion, which operated from the first century BC until mid 2nd century AD. The Spanish Legion's disappearance has raised speculations over its fate, largely of its alleged destruction in Scotland in about AD 117, though later evidence points to its allocation to the Near East, where it could have been destroyed in the Roman-Parthian Wars or during the Bar Kokhba Revolt of AD 132-136.

While the novel is mostly a romance, the ghostly appearance of a lost soldier from the Ninth gives it a nicely Gothic feel[original research?].
