One breakdown I'm aware of is:<br>
<br>
8 Legionaries= 1 Contubernium<br>
10 Contubernia= 1 Century<br>
6 Centuries= 1 Cohort<br>
10 Cohorts= 1 Legion<br>
<br>
From these basic divisions, although not by exact number of soliders, I would say that the rough equivalencies are:<br>
<br>
Contubernium= Squad or Section<br>
Century= Company<br>
Cohort= Battalion<br>
Legion= Regiment<br>
<br>
All more-or-less of course as the modern unit types don't exactly have universal standard sizes anyway; in the Wehrmacht, for example, an Infanterie-Regiment could have as many as 15 Kompanien of something like 120 combat troops each (WWII Germany is my other hobby )<br>
