During the reign of Augustus (27 BC-14 AD) the Romans had 25 legions and about 125,000 men. Under the reign of Septimius Severus (193-211) there were 33 legion and about 18,000 men. The Roman legions were army corps composed by Roman citizens. They were supplemented by regiments of auxiliary troops which were composed of non-Romans. These troops were equal in number to the Roman legions. Therefore, the total size of the army were double the figures mentioned above.

Caracalla (reigned 211-17)extended full Roman citizenship to all freeborn men in the empire. This led to the integration of the auxiliaries into the legions.
