Division of a Roman legion (6)

I believe the answer is:

cohort

(Other definitions for cohort that I've seen before include "Band of warriors" , "Tenth part of a Roman legion" , "One tenth of a Roman legion" , "Group of similar people" , "Companion or follower" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
