The term "legion" comes from the Romans, and it refers generally to the solders who were Roman citizens. In its usage in the New Testament, it is used merely to express that there were too many to bother counting, as in, "We are called Legion, for we are many." In layman's terms, it is similar to our usage of "bunch."
