Suggestions include the Bar Kokhba revolt (132–135) or Marcus Aurelius' war against Parthia (161–166) in Armenia.[5] However, some scholars have ascribed the Nijmegen evidence to a mere detachment of IX Hispana, not the whole legion. Keppie suggests that it was the legion's absence elsewhere that encouraged a native uprising, obliging Hadrian to send the Legio VI Victrix to Britain.[23] "Tile-Stamps of the Ninth Legion found in Britain".
