The Roman army was made up of groups of soldiers called legions. There were over 5,000 soldiers in a legion. Each legion had its own number, name, badge and fortress. There were about 30 legions around the Roman Empire, three of which were based in Britain at Caerleon, Chester and York.
Tombstones at Chester indicate that some men joined the legions young; two men had been only fourteen when they had joined up.
A legion had commanders, officers and ordinary soldiers. There were also doctors, engineers and other workers

The smallest unit of the Roman legion was the contubernium (tent group) of eight men. They marched, fought, worked and camped together.
The ’section’ (eight men) – the basic unit of the legion
In barracks, these eight men shared two rooms. On a march they shared a leather tent and a mule to carry it.
