Legio VI Gallicana
VI Gallicana may have belonged to the garrison of Mainz, when this city was part of the Gallic Empire (260-274). The legion, however, is mentioned only once, in a very unreliable text, the Historia Augusta. Probably, there was never a legion with this name. On the other hand, the Gallic Empire is relatively unknown, the role of XXII Primigenia in Mainz and its commander Laelianus -who proclaimed himself emperor in 269- is poorly understood, and archaeological finds may change our interpretation.
