Acts 10:2

He was devout and feared (revered, respected) God, and so did everyone in his house. [Cornelius, his family, and the servants who lived with him believed in and worshipped the God of Israel, followed certain Jewish traditions, but had not converted to Judaism.] He gave generously to the [Jewish] people and always (regularly) prayed to God.
[Caesarea Maritima, meaning Caesarea by the sea, was the Roman capital of Judea and an important military base. Cornelius was a centurion (company officer) in the Roman army and commanded a centuria of 100 men. Such a company consisted of 80 legionaries plus about twenty non-combatant support personnel. Another devout centurion is mentioned earlier in Luke 7:5. Cornelius and his company were part of a cohort consisting of six centuriae (plural of centuria).
The number of soldiers in the Roman army varied over time. During a major defeat in Germania (present-day Germany) in 9 AD, three legions were destroyed and the superpower's 28 legions were reduced to 25. At the time of the New Testament, after Augustus' cutbacks in 15 BC, the various units were:
Contubernium, 8 soldiers who camped/lived together. Centuria, 100 men (80 soldiers + 20 support personnel). Cohort, 500–800 soldiers. Legion, 4,800–5,500 foot soldiers + 120 cavalrymen (10 x cohorts).
The legion also included a baggage train, i.e. support units that could consist of several thousand men and women. At this time, five cohorts were stationed in Caesarea and one in Jerusalem. Several inscriptions show that an Italian regiment, Cohors II Italica, was stationed in the Roman province of Syria from 69 to 157 CE. Although this date is later than the events in Acts 10 (which occurred around 40 AD), the findings confirm that Italian troops were in the area later.]
