	List of Roman legions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These are mainly legions of the Roman Empire; earlier legions were not permanent named organizations.
		In the last years of the Republic, several Roman generals started to levy legions with their own money; these legions were loyal to their commanders, rather than to the Senate, so their presence increased the power of these generals.
		Maintaining these legions was, however, expensive, so they were usually levied for particular campaigns (such as those of Pompey against the pirates, those of Julius Caesar against Gauls, those of Mark Antony and Crassus against the Parthian Empire, and so on), and disbanded as soon these campaigns ended.

	Roman legion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Roman legion (from the Latin legio, meaning levy) was the basic military unit of ancient Rome.
		Much of Roman history during this time is founded on legends, but it is believed that during the reign of Servius Tullius, all Roman able-bodied, property-owning male citizens were first divided into five classes for military service based on wealth, since soldiers provided their own weapons and equipment.
		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).

		Later in the Roman Empire, the legion was commonly reinforced by allied troops, the allae.
