The symbol
The IIII Flavia was established by the emperor Vespasian with the legionaries of the IIII Macedonica. The IIII Macedonica had fought on the side of Vitellius and against Vespasian during the Year of the Four Emperors and perhaps the emperor did not trust those men. He thus decided to dissolve the Macedonica, organizing a new IIII legion, giving it his own name, Flavia, and obliging each legionary to swear an oath of loyalty to his family.
Having the lion as its symbol, it is likely that the legion was raised in the summer.
