Raised in 52 BC by Caesar in Cisalpine Gaul, the legio VI Ferrata served with him in Spain and at Pharsalus, Alexandria, and Zela. Released in 47 BC, it was again recalled, serving at Munda in 45 BC. Reconstituted by Lepidus in 44 BC, it served under Antony at Philippi and the East, participating in the triumvir's Parthian campaign. After Actium, Legio VI Ferrata went on to a long and distinguished imperial career in the Roman east, notably serving as the garrison army of Judaea for more than two centuries
