This can be determined if one divides it out, and 6000 goes into 100 60 times so there would be 60 centuries in a legion. (all depending on the actual unit type in the legion) a legion made up of only knights would be 60, but with regular foot soldiers the number would be significantly smaller.

What was Roman a?

Centurion of the Roman Army was a rank of the Roman Army officials. Centurions were in command of about 80 men, contrary to the popular belief that it was 100. Centurions were Roman soldiers that showed enough skills in combat, discipline, and leadership that they were promoted to Centurion.The highest rank of Centurion was the Primus pilus, he was the leader of the first cohort. Cohorts usually contained around 6 centuries, but the first cohort in a legion had double the amount of soldiers in each century. So, in reality, a Primus pilus was in direct command of roughly 960 men, but being the supreme centurion of the whole legion, he had command over an actual number of about 5,000 men, and was second in line to the Legatus-the commander of a legion.
