venta has inquired:

On a completely different note, I have a question about Roman Legions:

Can anyone tell me/point me at a reliable website about the structure of a Roman Legion ? I know they consisted of Centuries, under Centurions, but I have half an idea that a Century wasn't 100 men, it was 110 or something unexpected. Did a Decurion have charge of ten men ? If so, why do I have this idea that a Decurion was more important than a Centurion ? How to the cohorts/auxiliary cohorts fit in ? Did it depend which legion ? What rank was a Legate ? Etc.

Here's a few of my ( answers )
