 Here’s how to see all your Gmail labels (your “folders”):


On Desktop (Web Browser)

  1. Open Gmail.

  2. Look at the left sidebar. You’ll see some labels like Inbox, Starred, Sent, etc.

  3. Scroll down and click “More” to expand the full list.

  4. You’ll now see all labels, including nested ones.

  5. If you want to manage them, scroll down and click “Manage labels” (or go to Settings → Labels).

    • Here you can show/hide labels in the list or in message view, delete them, or create new ones.


On Mobile App (iOS/Android)

  1. Open Gmail app.

  2. Tap the three-line menu (☰) at the top left.

  3. Scroll down to Labels — all your labels appear here.

  4. Tap a label to see its emails.

  5. To edit labels, you’ll need to do it from a desktop browser — the app can’t create or delete labels.


💡 Tip: You can customize which labels appear in your sidebar vs hidden under “More,” so your most-used labels feel like real folders.

1. Historical overview

  • The legion is officially named Legio XX Valeria Victrix (“Twentieth Valeria Victorious Legion”). Wikipedia+2Wikipedia+2

  • Founded probably by the emperor Augustus soon after 31 BC. Wikipedia+1

  • It served in Spain (Hispania Tarraconensis) during the Cantabrian wars (25–13 BC). Wikipedia+1

  • It renamed “Valeria Victrix” possibly after a victory under the command of Marcus Valerius Messalla Messallinus (or at least has that gens/lineage reference). Wikipedia+1

  • It played a significant role in the Roman conquest of Britain (AD 43) under Emperor Claudius. Wikipedia+1

  • Its emblem was commonly the boar, a symbol used in Roman iconography for the unit. fiav.org+1

  • It remained active for centuries into Britain, stationed at Deva (modern Chester). Wikipedia+1

  • One major academic work: Legio XX Valeria Victrix — Prosopography, archaeology and history (S.J. Malone, 2006). BAR Publishing+1

2. Re-enactment in Ontario / Canada – what I found

  • I searched specifically for a Canadian (Ontario) reenactment group using the name Legio XX Valeria Victrix, but did not find a confirmed, publicly-active group under that exact name in Ontario.

  • However, I found a Canadian Roman-reenactment group: Legio XXX Ulpia Victrix (Cohort I) based in Southern Ontario / north-eastern USA, active since 2004. Principia Legionis

  • That group’s website: “members represent a cross between living history enthusiasts and edutainers” and they've participated in museum exhibitions in Ontario (ROM Toronto etc). Principia Legionis

  • The source list of Roman reenactment groups reports the Legio XX Valeria Victrix name historically in the U.K. or U.S. context (not necessarily Ontario-based). romanempire.net+1

  • So: It is possible that a local group in Ontario uses the name Legio XX Valeria Victrix, but I could not verify one with a current active website or public schedule in my search.
