Stationed in northern Syria as early as 4 BC, by AD 19, it had been moved to Laodicea, south of Antioch. At the beginning of the Jewish War, a detachment of the Sixth accompanied Cestius Gallus on his advance on Jerusalem. After the Jewish War, the Sixth was moved to Samosata. In AD 106, Trajan sent the legion to convert the client kingdom of Nabataea into the Roman Province of Arabia; thereafter it was stationed in Bostra.
