	Roman legion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		Legions could contain as many as 6,000 fighting men divided among several cohorts, although later in Roman history the number was reduced to 1,000 to allow for greater mobility.
		With each legion having 4,000-6000 legionaries supported by an equal number of auxiliary troops, the size of a legion during the Pax Romana 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).

	Inside Mac Games Review: Legion
		Legion's game development is courtesy Slitherine Strategies (an independent developer in the UK), porting via Virtual Programming, and distributed in North America by the fine New York outfit Freeverse.
		It is worth noting at this point that Legion is meticulously crafted in a historian's mindset for those that are interested in accuracy (or education).
		Legion certainly makes for an easier pick-up historical game and for all its complexity still retains the average gamer's attention (whereas Civ II can lose players in its expansiveness and speed).
