From 54 AD to 68 AD the Sixth Legion "Ferrata" served under Gnaeus Domitius Corbulo at Artaxata and Tigranocerta (in Armenia) against the Parthians. In 69 AD the Sixth Legion returned to Judea and fought in the Jewish War (66-73). As the War wound down, the Legion was largely responsible for Mucianus' victory over the forces of Vitellius during the brief Civil War following the death of Nero.
