Principia Belicosa
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Principia Belicosa was the standard organizational template of the Legiones Astartes devised by the Emperor during the Great Crusade. Based on the revered text of ancient Roma[3], it succeeded the Hexagrammaton formations of the early Astartes during the Unification Wars[1], and was succeeded after the Horus Heresy by the Codex Astartes.[2]
