The romans had an army. There lives were different from everyone elses. Read farther to learn about the roman soldier. In Rome they had an army. There were different ranks. The Legionary, which is the highest rank, was the best trained, best equiped, and also the highest paid. The legionaries had shields and swords. The shields were curved, so they could plant it in the ground. They were in the army for 25 years. They could not quit. No exeptions were aloud to be made. Each legion had around 6,000 soldiers. The legionaries had to make the camps, forts, roads, bridges, and even the walls. Centarions were in charge of 80 legionaries, so someone might not want to mess with them. Auxilers were recruited from the deafeted tribes, so basicly it is saying they took the only survivers from a war. Auxilaries were sent to support the legionaries. Soldiers usually bought tombstones, so when they died their family didn't have to. Out of all the ranks the best rank was the centurions. Our modern soldiers had airstricks and guns. The ranks were set up by caption, commander, and more other ranks. We had tanks and rockets unlike the romans. Our army is better than the romans, but it started from the romans too.
