Note 452 — Chapter IV · THE CENTURIES AND THE CLASSES
Reading edition
Müller, in Philol. xxxiv (1876). 129, is right in supposing that the legion was strengthened between the time of Servius and 387, but it was not in the way he assumes. The tradition of a legion (half phalanx) of 4000 men is preserved in Livy vi. 22. 8.
