There were no specific limits. You had to be fit enough and a Roman Citizen.

This isn't strictly true. In 367 a height requirement of 5' 7" was recorded however it was then abandonded as strictly necessary for ALL the Roman soldiers during the mid to latter 5th century. After that there were many elite formations that you had to be above a specific height for. However on the odd occassion if you possessed extremely developed body mass and excellent skill with arms you could circumvent this.
