Legio VI Ferrata (Ironclad) was a Roman legion. VI Ferrata was probably originally levied by Julius Caesar in 52 BC in Gallia Cisalpina, and it existed at least until middle-3rd century, under Emperor Philip the Arab. The emblem of this legion, as well as of all Caesar's legions, was the bull, together with the she-wolf and twins.
