An altar made of local limestone was uncovered at Legio, about 200 m west of Megiddo Junction. This hill is identified with
the camp of the Roman Legio VI Ferrata, which was garrisoned in the region from the second decade of the second century CE onward; early in the camp’s history, the second Trajanic legion also stayed there for a brief period. The altar was found with roof tiles bearing stamps of Roman legions. Its dimensions attest to a public cult, probably practiced by Roman legionaries in a sacellum or a temple located inside the legionary garrison or in its vicinity.
