Vexillations
#1
I've been told that vexillations from a Roman legion consisted of either 480 in one cohort, or 960 men from two. But I was told on one of my other threads that the composition of a vexillation wasn't that simplistic.

I know I must come across pretty needy :oops: but could somebody give me some information on vexillations? Particularly how many men were in them, and how they were chosen? I am especially interested in the late 2nd and early 3rd Centuries AD.
