 The approximate location of the camp of the Legio VI Ferrata was known from the persistence of its name in the form Lajjun by which a Palestinian Arab village was known.It was close to the ancient town of Rimmon, perhaps the Hadad-rimmon of , which in the 3rd century was renamed Maximianopolis (City of Maximian) by Diocletian in honor of his co-emperor Maximian.Both places were within a single episcopal see, generally called Maximianopolis, but in one list of such sees the name "Legionum" (genitive plural of the Latin word "Legio") is used, where the Greek original has "Maximianopolis".
