Legio II Alaudae was a Roman Army legion which was raised in Carthago Nova, Hispania Ulterior in 74 BC by Quintus Caecilius Metellus Pius. The legion fought in the Sertorian War on the Iberian Peninsula, taking part in the suppression of Sertorius' rebellion. During the civil wars of the Second Triumvirate, the legion pledged allegiance to Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, whose general Spurius Otacilius Paullus led the legion in a failed invasion of Sicily in 39 BC. The legion was nearly destroyed in a failed amphibious assault on Sicily at the Battle of Agrigentum.
