We know from inscriptions left on altars and tombstones. For example, the inscription of Sextus Calpurnius Agricola reads: 'To the Invincible Sun-god, a detachment of the Sixth Legion, the Victorious, Loyal and Faithful one, under the command of Sextus Calpurnius Agricola, Legate of the Augustus with pro-praetorian power.'
