Legio secunda Italica (Second Italian legion), was a Roman legion levied by emperor Marcus Aurelius in 165 together with I Italica at a time when the Roman Empire was fighting both in Germania and in Parthia. There are still records of the II Italica in Noricum in the beginning of the 5th century. The legion symbol is a she-wolf and the twins Romulus and Remus, and is a reference to the contemporary rule of Marcus Aurelius and his colleague Lucius Verus.
