Xth Roman Legion. The Tenth Roman Legion spent some 200 years in Jerusalem. They fought to stem both the First Jewish Revolt (CE 66-70) and the Second Jewish Revolt (the Bar-Kochba rebellion of CE 132-135) against imperial Rome. A legion was the largest division of the Roman army consisting of 4,000–6,000 men divided into ten cohorts supported by light cavalry and lightly armored troops. The Xth Legion left Jerusalem before CE 300.
