Quote:No, the legions swore obedience each to their own general. Caesar was Proconsul of both Gauls (Cisalpine and Transalpine). Pompey was sole Consul and as suchs he commanded the legions in Italy. Additionally he was Proconsul of Spain and in that capacity commanded it's legions as well.

What I meant was if the two-consul system had still been in operation, whereby a large force made up of multiple legions would be under the command of two men, not one.
