how many solidiers are in a roman leigon?

Answer 1

The imperial army consisted of some 300,00 men, half of whom made up the legions or units that carried eagles as their standard. There were c.28 legions, with an average strength of 5000, each made up of 10 cohorts of c.500 men. Cohorts were divided into 6 centuries, each numbering c.80 men under the command of a centurion. Almost all infantry troops were recruited from the citizenry. (Generally, 100 to 200 of the troops were cavalrymen.)

By the way... Read about it:

Answer 2

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. As legions were not standing armies until the Marian reforms (c. 107 BC), and were instead created, used, and disbanded again, several hundred Legions were named and numbered throughout Roman history.

Answer 3

6000 men of which 5,300 were heavy infantry. The basic unit was a contubernium of 8 men. 10 contubernium made a century. 6 centuries made a cohort (480) Ten cohorts made a legion but the "first" cohort was a double cohort making 5300 the other 700 men were clerks, craftsmen or mounted scouts
