Question
Do you know the name of the Roman General of the "victorious sixth legion" under Constantius Chlorus (AD 250 - 306)?
Hello Patrick.
Sorry for taking so long to get back to you but this has been quite a task. I have consulted all of the sources I know but have been unable to come up with a name.
Eventually I consulted the archeological record which states that no named general of the 'Victorious Sixth' is known after 213AD.
Are you sure that the soldier in question was a General. If you are able to throw any more light on this I would be happy to give you any help that I can.

| Comment | Thank you for your reply. I didn't really expect a fast response. Early Britannic history is scant with its details, simply because it was the wild west of the early centuries. Thanks Malcolm for doing your best. The only general of the VI I know of is named "Stilicho", who came along in the late 4th early 5th century AD. Patrick | ||
