The Bulk of the Legion would be the Infantry or Legionary cohorts. Each has 2500 men, there are 18 such formation in a standard legion. Thus there are 45,000 legionaries in each legion.

Then their is 5 cohorts of Auxilia, 2000 men each, that means an added 10,000 men.

Then their is of course 5 cohorts of Engineers or specialized troops, 1000 men each. So another 5,00 men.

So the full fighting strength of a legion not counting officers is 60,000 men.

For each cohort there is 250 officers. So 4,500 legionary officers.

Auxilia cohorts have 150 officers per cohort. So 750 auxilia officers.

and the specialized troops have 100 officers per cohort. So 500 specialized officers.

That means the grand total of a legions strength officers and all is 65,750 men.
