Could anyone please tell me the Legion/Auxilia that was stationed in Jerusalem around the time of Christ's crucifixion...say 35 AD? I know the 10th Legion was there around 69/70 AD when they destroyed the temple, but my research is unclear for 35 years earlier and there also seems to be a few different theories?
Thanks.

Thanks John,
I have looked at the thread any many others. I have also looked at some more research from various authors over the years and itseems there where a few Cohorts in Judaea at that time.
What Legion would these cohorts ( Ala I Sebastenorum, Cohors I Sebastenorum) have belonged to, as I am wanting to know what sort of legion/cohort identification I would paint on my shield I am building? Also I am decorating a an umbo and would like to know the emblem of that legion? e.g bull, boar, capricorn etc.
Appreciate any help.
Phil

Thanks for the information...appreciate it.
So if then I went with Cohors Prima Augusta for example, how then would that be written on the shield, and the umbo....COH AVG ??
Jona you said a Capricorn for the emblem...is a Bull out of the question?
Thanks.
