Notas de uso
- For military history, legione is specific; for a modern army unit, use reggimento, brigata, or battaglione instead.
- To mean “lots of,” legione is literary or emphatic. In everyday speech, Italians more often say un sacco, moltissimi, or una marea.
- The sense “order” is rare and specialized, usually in biology or older classifications. Use ordine in normal modern contexts.
