What was the name of somebody who ruled a roman cohort?

The Roman officer rank system was different than today's. There was not an officer rank designated as commander of a cohort. Effectively a cohort was led by the commander of its first century. The rank of the officers also varied depending on the cohort they belonged to.The Roman legion had ten cohorts. Cohorts 2 to 10 had six standard centuries and cohort 1 had five double size centuries. The first cohort had five primi ordines who commanded the five centuries of the first cohort. The senior among them was the primus pilus who commanded the first century, and therefore was like a commander of the cohort. The pilus prior was the commander of the first century of cohorts 2 to 10. The other five centuries were commanded by centurions. The pilus prior and the centurions of cohorts 6 to 10 were of lower rank than those of cohort 2 to 5.


How many men was in the first cohort?

In a theoretic Imperial legion the first cohort would have consisted of double the 2-9 cohorts, so while a normal Cohort consisted of 400 odd men, the 1'st cohort had around 800 men. But taking into account of Deaths and Legionnaires on leave. it was rarely fully manned. the same can be said for the entire Legion
