What is Roman Army Structure and Auxilia Insights about?

The document summarizes the organization of Roman auxiliary troops, which were traditionally viewed as inferior to legions but the author argues were actually comparable. Auxiliaries were organized into smaller units than legions, including cavalry alae of 512-768 men and infantry cohorts of 480-800 men. Unlike the monolithic legions, auxiliary units varied in size and composition but typically featured structures similar to legions with officers commanding centuries of around 80 men each.
