Its name means 'ironclad', which is probably a reference to the suits of armor.<br />This legion was recruited in 52 BCE by Julius Caesar in Gallia Cisalpina, and saw its first action during the campaign against the Gallic leader Vercingetorix, who was besieged at Alesia. Later, it was stationed during the winter at Châlons-sur-Saône or Mâcon. In 51, the ironclads fought against the Carnutes of the lower Loire, and were sent to Orléans.<br />During the civil war between Caesar and his fellow-triumvir and Pompey the Great, the Sixth was the most mobile of all units. It fought in Hispania in the battle of Ilerda (summer 49), returned to the east, and served atDyrrhachium in the first months of 48. It was present in the battle ofPharsalus (9 August 48), accompanied Caesar to Alexandria (48/47), and decided the battle of Zela (2 August 47) in Pontus. After these campaigns, in which the Sixth suffered heavily, the dictator sent it sent back to Italy, from where veterans were settled at Arles, which was called Colonia Iulia Paterna Arelatensium Sextanorum, "the ancestral Julian colony of Arles of the soldiers of the Sixth". <br />Nice photographs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198329362499789905.post-3433571920140193112010-09-04T14:21:24.234+02:002010-09-04T14:21:24.234+02:00Peter, Strolling with you through the streets of w...Peter, Strolling with you through the streets of whatever city you are in always is such a pleasure.

The photographs exhibit is really something, I didn't realize this happened in Arles. And that bust of Julius Caesar, what an amazing relic. When we lived in Istanbul and traveled to Ephesus and other ancient cities, we were surprised at how much of the Roman ruins were still evident and accessible.<br /><br />Lovely post on a place I would very much like to visit.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198329362499789905.post-46376386847300024642010-09-04T02:23:31.572+02:002010-09-04T02:23:31.572+02:00beautiful photos as usual - I would love to visit ...beautiful photos as usual - I would love to visit this town..Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06255193476024745869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198329362499789905.post-75067878018092247432010-09-03T18:41:47.514+02:002010-09-03T18:41:47.514+02:00Very interesting post with a fantastic shot on top...Very interesting post with a fantastic shot on top!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15783877262954668959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198329362499789905.post-88195134278332358932010-09-03T18:40:13.439+02:002010-09-03T18:40:13.439+02:00I love the shot of the young lady with the rainbow...I love the shot of the young lady with the rainbow umbrella! i so need to visit Arles for the Van Gogh aspects.
