A "legion" of men consists of 10 "cohorts". Each cohort consists of 5 or 6 "centuries". The exact number of men in a "century" varies - it is never more than 100 and commonly not less than 80. Hence each leagion has, on average, 5000 men. Not all these of these will be active soldiers though. A small percentage will be support staff (smiths, farriers, cooks, engineers) that will likely never see combat.
