It fought under General Corbulo during Nero?s reign, helping to restore Roman control over Armenia and counter Parthian influence. Stationed at Zeugma on the Euphrates, it remained a key force along the eastern frontier.Legio IV Scythica also took part in the First Jewish Revolt and continued serving into the 4th century AD. Its emblem may have included a capricorn or lion.
