Double this for a full consular army.
I know it's an old argument, but I really don't agree with these all-Roman setups (especially not in Camillian times), when we have Italian troops on the roster. Post-Second Punic War I can certainly see these as being necessary, but before that I think there are all kinds of reasons to use Samnites, Bruttians, Lucanians and Campanians in the roster, not least to give the army a bit of variety
