Size of the Roman army : ウィキペディア英語版 | Size of the Roman army By the size of the Roman army is meant the changes (increases and reductions) in the number of its contingents: legions, auxiliaries Praetorian cohorts, Urban cohorts, vigiles, and naval forces over the course of twelve centuries - from 753 BC to AD 476 (the Fall of the Western Roman Empire). == Regal period (753 - 509 BC) ==
After the founding of Rome, legend has it that the first king, Romulus established the original Roman legion with 3,000 soldiers and 300 cavalry,〔Plutarch, ''Life of Romulus'', 13.1.〕 which might have been doubled when the city of Rome was expanded by union with the Sabines, coming to a total of 6,000 infantry and 600 cavalry.〔Plutarch, ''Life of Romulus'', 20.1.〕 By the time of Servius Tullius or perhaps the Tarquini the forces had increased once more, bringing the number of infantry to 17,000 and of cavalry to 1,800.〔Livy, ''Ab Urbe condita libri'', 1.43.〕〔P.Connolly, ''Greece and Rome at war'', London 1998, p.95.〕
