Thundering Legion a name for the 12th Roman Legion, said to come from their having saved themselves and the whole army in an expedition under Marcus Aurelius against the Germanic tribes. Parched with thirst, the Christians among them successfully prayed for rain; their prayers also caused lightning and thunderbolts to fall on the enemy.
