Legion in the Bible is the name that a demon identified itself as in the man who was possessed of many demons. Legions just refers to the multitude of demons in the man. Jesus set the man free.

Is this in answer to the man who responded to the "name of the demon" question, "We are Legion"? A "legion" was a Roman military term for a certain number of soldiers (can't remember how many, but lots), and by saying that, he was essentially saying, "There are lots of us in here."

Legion was the name the demons gave that were possessing the man that Jesus exorcised. They were called Legion because there was many spirits, not just one.

The Roman Legion (from Latin legio, legionis, f., from lego, legere, legi, lectus — "to collect") is a term that can apply both as a transliteration of legio ("conscription" or "army") to the entire Roman army and also, more narrowly (and more commonly), to the heavy infantry that was the basic military unit of the ancient Roman army in the period of the late Roman Republic and the Roman Empire. In this latter meaning, it consisted of several cohorts of heavy infantry known as legionaries. It was almost always accompanied by one or more attached units of auxiliaries, who were not Roman citizens and provided cavalry, ranged troops and skirmishers to complement the legion's heavy infantry. The size of a typical legion varied widely throughout the history of ancient Rome, with complements of 4,200 legionaries in the late republican period of Rome which where split into groups of 120 legionaries called maniples,to the number of 6,200 in the imperial periods. 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. To date, about 50 have been identified. In the time of the Early Roman Empire, there were usually about 25-35 standing Legions plus their Auxiliaries, with more raised as needed.
Due to the enormous military successes of the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire the legion has long been regarded as the prime ancient model for military efficiency and ability.

In the Adventures of Jesus Legion was a set of demons that possessed another character. Jesus played a trick on the demons and cast them into pigs and the pigs ran off a cliff and drowned.
