Command

The ceremonial supreme commanders of all legions within Nova Roma are the consules of Nova Roma, and the praetores are the vice-supreme commanders.

The provincial ceremonial commander-in-chief of the Legio XX Valeria Victrix (and all other legionary units in Provincia Britannia), is the governor of Britannia, who is coincidentally the consul of Nova Roma, C. Petronius Stephanus Turpilianus, so he is at the same time the global commander-in-chief and the provincial commander-in-chief, as well. The provincial legatus of the consul C. Petronius, Cn. Cornelius Lentulus is the provincial deputy commander-in-chief.

The ceremonial legion commander, the general of the legion who is directly in charge of it, is also the consul C. Petronius, who will automatically become the legatus legionis after his imperium expires. He was appointed as the ceremonial commander of the legion, but his previous magistracy as praetor and current magistracy as consul trump any lower political commander offices, such as legatus, so during his tenure as consul, he ceremonially commands the legion as the consul of our res publica.

The actual commander of our allied Legio XX Valeria Victrix, appointed specifically as chief commanding officer of the legion, is the praefectus castrorum A. Ocratius Maximus Gittus. He exercises command on his own. Missions and operations of the legion are directed by the praefectus castrorum and his fellow officers.
