A black-bordered box in the lower-left corner states '30 LEGIONS APPROX 160,000 MEN*', 'TOTAL ARMY BUDGET: 150 MILLION DENARI*', '2-3% OF ROMAN EMPIRE TOTAL GDP (SCHEIDEL 2015)', and includes a comparison to U.S. military spending. The map visually depicts legion distribution across regions like Britannia, Hispania, and Syria.
