Pontus Melee Infantry

Cohors

The Roman army was heavily structured, from the highest position down to the individual man. 'Legion' was the name most associated with Roman forces, but in reality groups of 'cohors' were formed and becoming the basic tactical unit around which all Roman infantry divisions were formed. The cohor was first used during the Second Punic War, becoming solidified following the military reforms of Gaius Marius in 107BC, and then codified in the 1st century AD. Each cohor consisted of several 'centuries' of eighty fighting men and twenty administrators, multiples of which built a Legion. Cohors also served specific purposes, such as the nine 'Cohors Praetoriae' - the legendary Praetorians who defended many Emperors, and toppled many others, until their replacement in AD312 following Constantine's military reforms.
