I've searched the threads and not been able to find the answer to this.
Does anyone know how many legions Pompey would have commanded in Spain when fighting Sertorius and later Perperna?
I have found that when Pompey and Metellus combined forces at one stage that they had 'more than 50,000 men' (A History of Rome by Cary & Scullard) but nothing more specific about Pompey's forces only.
Also, can anyone recommend a good text on Pompey?
Thanks in advance.
