__THINGS YOU MAY SEE:__ If you were ever to go to rome and view many of their major landmarks then you may find many things that were signifigant to the roman soldiers. Some things you may come across would be many weapons, pieces of clothing, valuable items such as gold or badges or personal objects that belong to a specific soldier. Some things you find can tell a whole story about a person that was with the army. If i were you i would not want to keep those items you find because they are very important and memorable to the Roman citizens. That army fought hard for all that they conquered. A saying by a roman soldier: // "We may fight hard and win or give all our effort and die trying" // In 2009 we have soldiers who fight for our freedom! They are very much like the roman soldiers who fought for romes rights! Of course as time passed our equiptiment and things have gotten more advanced but the idea of having people risk their lifes to fight and protect for our country is still the same!
 * At first men were asked to leave their farms for short periods of time to fight. Later men stayed in the army full time.
 * The Roman army was well organized. Each main section of the army was called a legand.
 * A group of eight soldiers shared a tent and ate toghther. This group was a contubernium. Eight contuberia made a century. Centrie were grouped in chorts and ten cohorts made a legion.
 * The life of a Roman soldier was very difficult. The men were diciplined by flagging.
 * The gerneral could have soldiera beheaded for not fallowing orders. Deserts got their hand cut off.
 * The diet of a soldier consisted mostly of unleaved bread. They ate porridge and any veggies they could find.

 * After a long day's march the men would have to make camp. This consisted of digging a ditch around the outside of the camp.
 * They also put up a wall of stakes on the pile of dirt. the stakes were carried from camp to camp.
 * They dressed in a helmet, mail breastplate, leg and arm guards, belt, tunic, and boots.
