You need to specify which battle you are referring to if you want to make it possible for question to be answered.

In short, not typically as many as those attacking them. Roman troops were the best organized, best trained, best equipped with the best technology of the time during the time of the Empire. While there are some exceptions to this trend, they remain exceptions.

The two biggest Roman defeats were the battle of Cannae (216 BC) against Hannibal and the Battle of Adrianople (378 AD) against the Goths.

The estimate of the casualties of the Romans and their Italian allies by ancient historians ranged from 43,500 to 70,000 (Polybius gave 70,000, Quinitilan 60,000, Plutarch and Appian 50,000) Livy 48,200, and Eutropius 43,500). Modern historians think that the figure was lower and suggest 11,000 to 16,000. Modern estimates for the Battle of Adrianople are 10,000-15,000 or 20,000.
