Judea Auxilia
Garrison of Jerusalem AD30
To paraphrase Jona Lendering in the thread above, there were five cohorts of infantry and one squadron of cavalry serving in the province: Ala I Sebastenorum, Cohors I Sebastenorum, Cohors Prima Italica Civium Romanorum, the Cohors Secunda Italica Civium Romanorum and Cohors Prima Augusta. One cohort is unknown.
For the military activities of this force, probably Josephus is the best source - the earlier chapters of The Jewish War particularly.

These are dead links - any idea where the info got to? Thanks.
