What is the real number of men in a legion?
#4
Numbers in Republican times are different again about 120 per manipel and 60 for a triarii manipel up to 160 to 80 while this may vary as well.<br>
<br>
In late antiquity the troops which were still called legions had about half the strenght of the numbers Jasper gave.<br>
<br>
Dunno where you heard 30.000 but that's way too much. <p></p><i></i>
