Hi there,
I have a short question.
Titus army during the siege of Jerusalem consisted of legio V Macedonica, X Fretensis and XV Apollinaris.
Now while looking through the legions histories I read that VI Ferrata and XII Fulminata were in the area as well around the time of the revolt. Now my question is: what have they been doing during that war? Were they part of Vespasians army before he left and Titus took over command? or did they just guard the other asian provinces? any detatchemnts in combat during the war in Judaea or the civil war?
oh and where was Gallica, which was part of Corbulo's army? shouldn~t it have been in the area as well?
thank you very much!
yours
Cinna
