Oh you’re referring back to 300 men. A numeri is a different ball game. I gave that example. 300 divided by four infantry equals 75 centuries. However, four infantry taken from a 60 century legion equals 240 men which is divisible by 80. Therefore, the 240 men can be organised into three centuries each of 80 men, as are the 240 cavalrymen. In total there are 480 men allocated to guard duty.
