Martyrs of the Theban Legion
The Martyrs of the Theban Legion were a Roman imperial legion of 6,600 soldiers. All of them were Christians who had been recruited from the area around Thebes in Upper Egypt. They served under Emperor Maximian Herculeus and were led by Saint Maurice.
Around the year 287 AD, Emperor Maximian led this army across the Alps to Agaunum, an area in modern Switzerland, so as to suppress a rebellion by the Bagandre in Gaul.
During this battle, the whole army, except the Theban Legion, offered public sacrifices to the Roman gods. For refusing to sacrifice, the Theban Legion was decimated – one-tenth of them were executed.
The remaining soldiers also refused to sacrifice to the gods, they were decimated again. The remaining survivors also refused to sacrifice and ultimately, Emperor Maximian ordered them all of them to be killed.
All these took place in 287 AD in Agaunum in modern-day Saint-Maurice-en-Valais, Switzerland. Consequently, a basilica was built in Agaunum to enshrine the relics of the Legion
