Legiun Thebes (juga dikenal sebagai Martir Agaunum) merupakan sebuah penggambaran hagiografi Kristen [1] sebagai legiun Romawi yang seluruhnya berjumlah "enam ribu enam ratus enam puluh enam orang"[2] — yang telah dikonversi secara massal menjadi Kristen dan menjadi martir bersama pada tahun 286, menurut hagiografi Santo Mauritius, pemimpin di antara orang-orang kudus dari legiun tersebut. Pembantaian legiun Thebes berlangsung pada masa pemerintahan Diokletianus antara tahun 285 dan 306 di Agaune, sekarang Saint-Maurice, Swiss, Kanton Valais. Hari perayaan mereka jatuh pada tanggal 22 September.

  1. ^ Attempts to demonstrate its historical possibility, such as Donald F. O'Reilly, "The Theban Legion of St. Maurice" Vigiliae Christianae 32.3 (September 1978), pp. 195–207, reveal its continued vitality as an element of Christian legend rather than Christian mythology.
  2. ^ 6666 is not the normal number of soldiers in a Roman Legion, and its appearance in this context is interesting for its similarity to 666, which has a diametically opposite association as the well-known Number of the Beast in the Book of Revelation.
