Well after reading the Perge paper, I am a little perplexed. Sometimes these payroll records produce more problems than solutions.
Page 157 “20 ordinarii.”
20 ordinarii matches my research ...for the smaller legion.
Page 159 “The 10 signiferi given in the list in the Perge inscription were each in charge of 10 centuriae of the unit.”
Well if this is true, in relation to my research, it is accurately giving the numbers for a full strength legion, and also giving the number for same legion with one third missing, which is a common practice of the Romans. Also the 1 signiferi and 10 centuries would relate to those under the command of a tribune.
