That does create a problem in the Principate, doesn't it? If you have six centuries in a cohort, that would mean that a tribune would command the six centuries in one cohort and four from another and then another tribune would command the remaining two centuries from that cohort, the six of another and two from a third and so on. Even if this represented only administrative responsibility and not battlefield command, it would still be peculiar.
