The Roman chain of command had some layers that may seem odd to us. Ultimately, during the republic, the senate was in command of the armies. Ultimately, during the principate, the ruling emperor was in command of the armies. However, if a governor of a province had legions stationed there, he was in command of them, even though each legion had a commander called a legate. For example, when the Senate authorized Julius Caesar to take five legions in Gaul, those legions were either newly recruited, or taken from another province. The commanders of the legions, the legates, would still be in command of their legion, but they, in turn, would take their orders from Caesar.
