One legion, the Tenth Fretensis, was the only legion that attacked Masada. A Roman legion, at full strength, was around 5,000 men. However the Romans had a habit of not replacing men in a legion once they were either killed or discharged, so the exact number of Romans that attacked Masada is presumed to be considerably less than the 5,000 limit as the Tenth was also active in the previous battles.
