How many soldiers are in a detachment of roman soldiers?

Answer 1

It all depends upon what you mean by a detachment. The Romans had a tent detachment of eight men, a century or 80 men and a cohort of roughly 300 men. These could all be considered detachments if deployed independently.

Answer 2

Two, sniper and observer.

Answer 3

Answer That may be difficult to answer. Romans used terms for their units such as Legion(5000 men), Cohort(1000 men), Centuria (30 to as many as 200 men) and even Contubernium (group sharing a tent). Their organization was note equivalent to today's army.

Answer 4

That's a difficult question to answer because the Romans had no unit comparable to our squad. The smallest fighting unit in the Roman army was the century, which would come closest to our definition of a squad. A century consisted of 80 men. Yes, there was a tent unit of eight men, but they were not a fighting unit, they were simply a sleeping unit and many times did not serve in the same fighting units.

A Roman cohort consisted of 300 to 600 men.

Answer 6
