Tacitus (Annals 4.5) states that in 23 AD, the total number of auxiliaries was the same as the total number of legionaries. Since there were about 28 legions, the total army, including navy, praetorians and city units, consisted of about 300,000 troops. The number of legions rose slightly (to 33 IIRC under Septimius Severus) and undoubtedly the number of auxiliary troops rose as well, though by how much is not clear. In 200 AD the Roman army numbered probably between 300,000 and 450,000 troops. <p>Greets<br>
