[edit] Table of early Empire legions

Revisiting this table and section several months after completing it, I feel it is too long-winded and not especially reader-friendly. I have revised it to include all the information in the table itself, thus dispensing with the long list of notes. I was pleased I could still keep it to one line per legion, whilst still retaining all the important data. I have also split it into 3 sections, each compact enough to fit comfortably on one computer screen. As for the second table I devised, I have erased it, as I don't think it is very useful and makes the article excessively long. I hope readers will find it easier to use.

[edit] Please add

XXVth Legio participated in Battle of Soissons (486) in North Gaul in 486 under command of Syagrius and was defeated[1]. --Dojarca (talk) 05:06, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
