Legion Cohort Centuria Maniple Hierarchy Numbers
Aggregate independently specified era/unit legion-cohort-centuria model, not universal century of 100or complete historical legion strength; excludes officers and attachments unless caller includes them.
Description
Military hierarchy counts depend on the adopted cohort and centuria model.
Military hierarchy counts depend on the adopted cohort and centuria model.1
A nominal total does not establish actual unit strength or a universal legion organization. Use Legion Cohort Centuria Maniple Hierarchy Numbers to evaluate the supplied inputs under the model explained below.
When to use Legion Cohort Centuria Maniple Hierarchy Numbers
Use Legion Cohort Centuria Maniple Hierarchy Numbers to evaluate the supplied inputs under the model explained below. Choose the applicable era, source or grammatical convention and independently establish the annotations or numerical assumptions.
How to use Legion Cohort Centuria Maniple Hierarchy Numbers and understand its results
- Choose the applicable era, source or grammatical convention and independently establish the annotations or numerical assumptions.
- Enter Caller centuriae per cohort, Caller soldiers per centuria using the field table and validation rules below, then run the tool.
- Read Total Centuriae, Nominal Soldier Capacity in the Result object; interpret the units, signs, ordering and unknown-value placeholders described below.
- Correct reported input errors and rerun. Apply successful results according to their specific meanings and check the assumptions before using them in a decision.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| callerCenturiaePerCohort | Caller centuriae per cohort | array of number | Required; constraints below |
| callerSoldiersPerCenturia | Caller soldiers per centuria | number | Required; constraints below |
Enter an array of integer centuriae per cohort from 1 to 128 and a caller soldiers-per-centuria integer from 1 to 10000. Sum centuriae and multiply by the soldiers factor using checked integer arithmetic. An empty cohort array returns zero totals. Counts are nominal caller assumptions; no fixed cohort count, century size or maniple hierarchy is supplied.
totalCenturiae=ΣcenturiaePerCohort; nominalSoldiers=totalCenturiae×soldiersPerCenturia Use the field order, units and branch conditions described above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| result | Object containing the named result fields below. | object |
| result.totalCenturiae | Total Centuriae | number |
| result.nominalSoldierCapacity | Nominal Soldier Capacity | number |

}Limitations and assumptions
A nominal total does not establish actual unit strength or a universal legion organization. Apply the exact scope and assumptions explained above.
All listed fields require explicit values. Unexpected fields, incorrect types, nonfinite numbers and sparse arrays fail validation. Domain-specific bounds, alignments and supported tokens are explained above; extremely large inputs or outputs can also be rejected. Input errors differ from successful false results, empty match lists and unknown-evidence placeholders.
