What were the different names of the Roman legions?

The names of the Roman legions were honorifics and they received them for some achievement of bravery. The legions also had certain recruitment areas and at times they could be given a name based upon where they were recruited, such as the 2nd Italia.

Julius Caesar's famous Tenth Legion did not have a name at all, it was simply "the tenth" or "Caesar's Tenth". At any rate, here are some names of some legions: 14th Gemina Martra Victrex, 2nd Augusta, 5th Alaudae, and the 30th Ulpia. Any legion with the word "gemina" in its name was a new legion that was formed by combining two other legions.
