Hello,
I am trying to find out the sources that would tell me during the 150-100 BC time period how many different legions existed at a year, where they were localized and for what reason, ie. Fighting in N. Africa during Jugurthine War, Occupation Duty/Quelling Rebellion in Cisalpine Gaul, etc.
I understand that few if any original sources would list this as I want it. However, has any military historian since pieced this all together and come up with an idea? Any ideas who to read to find out?
gratia,
