A Roman legion (from Latin legio "military levy, conscription", from legere "to choose") was the largest unit of the Roman army involving from 3000 men in early times to over 5200 men in imperial times, consisting of centuries as the basic units. Until the middle of the first century, 10 cohorts (about 5,000 men) made up a Roman Legion. This was later changed to nine cohorts of standard size (with 6 centuries at 80 men each) and one cohort, the first cohort, of double strength (5 double-strength centuries with 160 men each).

In the early Roman Kingdom the "legion" may have meant the entire Roman army but sources on this period are few and unreliable. The subsequent organization of legions varied greatly over time but legions were typically composed of around five thousand soldiers, divided during the republican era into three lines of ten maniples, and from about 100 BC into ten cohorts. Legions also included a small ala or cavalry unit. By the third century AD, the legion was a much smaller unit of about 1,000 to 1,500 men, and there were more of them. In the fourth century AD, East Roman border guard legions (limitanei) may have become even smaller.

For most of the Roman Imperial period, the legions formed the Roman army's elite heavy infantry, recruited exclusively from Roman citizens, while the remainder of the army consisted of auxiliaries, who provided additional infantry and the vast majority of the Roman army's cavalry. (Provincials who aspired to citizenship gained it when honourably discharged from the auxiliaries). The Roman army, for most of the Imperial period, consisted mostly of auxiliaries rather than legions. :) hope this helps you out

Ivanshal [37]
So if it is in all states and national elections then that must mean it is the result of the 19th amendment that would have allowed women the right to vote.

What was the Industrial Revolution?​
aalyn [17]

Answer:

<u>The Industrial Revolution is a process of transition from an agrarian, manufactory economy to an economy dominated by industrial and mechanical production.</u>

Explanation:

The Industrial Revolution is a process of transition from an agrarian, manufactory economy to an economy dominated by industrial and mechanical production. Among other technological innovations, the use of iron and steel, new energy sources, the invention of new machines that will increase production volume, and the development of a factory system and a significant shift in the field of transport and communications (including the steam engine and telegraph) were particularly significant. Major changes have also taken place in the field of agriculture; it shifted to a wider distribution of goods, and all this resulted in political changes that reflected a rebalancing of economic power and significant social change.

The Industrial Revolution began in the United Kingdom from 1760 to 1830, and then spread to Belgium and France. Other nations were late, but when Germany, the United States and Japan reached enviable industrial power, they far surpassed initial British results.
