Roman Legions

A Roman Legion is defined as a division of from 3000 to 6000 men (including cavalry) in the Roman army. A full strength legion officially consists of 6,000 men, but typically all legions are organized at under strength and generally consist of approximately 5,300 fighting men, including officers. Non-combatants such as feild surgeons and clerks however are not included in the final count of a single fighting Legion.
