Side benefit of Wikipedia: we're teaching legions
(well, thousands) of
people who otherwise never would have had the opportunity how to do
good, well researched and cited academic type writing.
According to Wikipedia (see how easy it is? Why can't the newspapers
manage... it's just 3 words... oh well...) a Roman legion generally
consisted of between 1000 and 6000 men, so no need to correct
yourself.
