Recent excavations at Megiddo, Israel have discovered evidence of Legio VI Ferrata (Iron) Legion (see post below). Recently the remains of a military base has been discovered. Legio VI Ferrata was in Judea for about two centuries (second till early forth century AD).

The symbol for Legio VI Ferrata was a bull. It also carried the symbolic she-wolf with Romulus and Remus.

Legio VI Ferrata supported Legio X Fretensis during its deployment in Judea.

The buildings are not preserved to their full height, with the stones being repurposed by other builders during the Byzantine and Early Islamic periods

 

Dr Tepper emphasised that the find was not accidental, crediting the past discoveries of the Jezreel Valley Research Project and the Albright Institute of Archaeology in Jerusalem
