The generic word for a soldier is "miles". However, Latin can be a very specific language and here are some adjectives that went along with the "miles" to indicate what soldier was being indicated. A "miles gregarius" was a common soldier, a private. A "miles pedes" was a foot soldier. and a "miles eques" was a horse soldier/cavalryman. A buddy, or a fellow soldier was a "miles commilito". If a man were in the marine corps he would be a "miles classicus".
A Roman legion (army corps) had 5,320 infantrymen and 120 cavalrymen. In addition there were support men, such as catering men, supply men, engineers and the like. This was an ideal number. The actual numbers varied according to the requirements of a given military campaign. Sometimes the legions were undermanned
