Principales and Immunes:
Below the rank of centurion men were designated as either principales or immunes. Principales assisted the centurions
and were exempt from normal fatigues (optio, signifer and tesserarius). Immunes, men who were excused from regular
fatigues by virtue of special skills (blacksmiths, carpenters, surveyors, medical assistants, etc.), comprised almost 20% of
each unit.
And here's some of the 80%.
