Legionary Army Units
Important terms
Legio (Imperial) - A legion was composed of nine cohorts and one first cohort. The legion's
overall commander was the legatus legionis, assisted by the praefectus castrorum and other
senior officers.
Cohors (Cohortes) - A cohort consisted of 480 men. The most senior ranking centurion of
the six centuria commanded the entire cohort.
First Cohort (Cohors Prima) - The first cohort was a double strength cohort (consisting of
five double-strength centuria) with a size of 800 men (excluding officers). The centurion of
its first centuria, the Primus Pilus, commanded the first cohort and was also the most
senior Centurion in the legion.
Centuria - A centuria consisted of 80 men under the command of a Centurion and
his Optio. Six centuria formed a cohort.
Contubernium - The smallest organized unit of soldiers in the Roman Army. It was composed
of eight legionaries led by a non-commissioned officer called a decanus. Ten contubernia
formed a centuria.
Vexillatio - These were temporary task forces composed of one or multiple centuria deta-
ched from the legion for a specific purpose. Vexillations were under the command of an
officer appointed by the Legatus.
96. The Roman Army
Auxilary Army Units
Ala : The ala was composed entirely of cavalry. The name is Latin for wing and
derives from the use of horsemen on the flanks of an army, where they gave
protection to the infantry centre. The alae were normally of a strength of
roughly five hundred (quingenaria), but there were a few of the strength of
roughly a thousand (millaria)
Turma : By the second century the ala quingenaria were arranged into section
of sixteen turmae, whereas the ala millaria were partitioned into twenty
four turmae. So a turma was not necessarily always of the same size.
Commander: praefectus alae
