We associate "Legion" with "many", but suspect they had a little more understanding of the word during this time, when the country was inhabited by the Roman Army.
"A legion was a body of soldiers whose number differed at different times, and in the time of Augustus seems to have consisted of 6826 men (i.e. 6100 foot soldiers, and 726 horsemen)." - Enhanced Strong’s Lexicon
