The only Roman garrison in the Middle East

Archeologists have discovered at Megiddo the remains of the garrison of the Roman Sixth Legion that kept order following the Jewish Revolt of 66-70 CE and the Bar Kochba Revolt of 132 to 135 CE. The Jews then lost sovereignty until 1948 and the modern Jewish State.
