I was looking for a very old book on the shelf for info on mosaics in Yorkshire,Wanderings in Roman Britain-Arthur Weigall. I found that there was mention of the Sixth Leg. sending re-enforcements/replacements to Bremetennacum (Ribchester).The evidence was an inscription (dated 238-244AD) from a Centurion from the Sixth dedicting the stone to Apollo,there is also mention of a earlier tablet in the Honour of Marcus Aurelius & Lucius Verus.I've been to the museum before but didn't see it.
Does anyone else have anymore info they could pass on
Wouldn't this region come under the Twentieth stationed at Chester? :? Its all a bit early for me,but its good to tie up units through time.

John
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
