 Roman legion Summary
The size of a typical legion varied widely throughout the history of ancient Rome, with complements ranging from 5000-6000 men in the republican period of Rome, to the fairly standard number of around 5,400 in the early and middle imperial period and finally to on average 1000-2000 men in the very late imperial period.
Legions become organized in a more formal way in the 4th century BC, as Roman warfare evolved to more frequent and planned operations, and the consular army was raised to two legions.
With each legion having 4,000–6000 legionaries usually supported by an equal number of auxiliary troops, the total force available to a legion commander during the Pax Romana probably ranged from 8,000–12,000 (With the more prestigious legions and those stationed on hostile borders or in restive provinces tending to be larger).

According to a Jewish legend in the Talmud (tractate Gitin 56a-b) [5], Nero came to Jerusalem and told his men to fire arrows in all four directions.
Titus was then dispatched to put down the rebellion—this led to the wholesale massacre of many Jews, the destruction of Jerusalem (the last remnants of the insurrection died at the stronghold of Masada).
The Jewish tradition reconciles this view of Nero with that of Roman historians by alleging that Roman historians could not abide the idea of a Roman emperor converting to Judaism, and therefore made up the story of his insanity and subsequent suicide.

The film was seen as an act of courage in the political environment of the time, both for its ridicule of Nazism and for the portrayal of overt Jewish characters and the depiction of their persecution.
Nazi propaganda in the 1930s prominently portrayed Chaplin as Jewish, and FBI investigations of Chaplin in the late 1940s focused on such claims (for unknown reasons).
Paranoia about alleged Jewish domination of the movie industry was probably the root cause underlying this controversy.
