Legio II Italica, 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. The legio's main theatre of operations was the Roman province of Noricum, in the south margin of the Danube where Germanic incursions were frequent.

In 193, Legio II marched into Rome with Septimius Severus fighting for power. The new emperor awarded them the title of Fidelis (loyal) to acknowledge the support. Later Septimius Severus would use Legio II against the rebellions of Pescennius ♥♥♥♥♥ and Clodius Albinus, and in his Parthian campaigns.
