Sétima Legião was a Portuguese rock band, active from 1982 when it was formed by friends Pedro Oliveira, Rodrigo Leão and Nuno Cruz until 2000. They named the band Sétima Legião after the Roman Seventh Legion sent to Lusitânia in the first century A.D.[1]

In 1994, they split the stage with the British band The Stranglers to complete the opening act assignment in a live concert in Coimbra (Portugal) recorded in video on May 12.
