The Roman Soilders way to live.... Aqueducts Roman Roads Home Page Life As A Soldier Nero

A roman soldier..... Did you know that many of the armor wasn't made out of metal and it wasn't all that shiny either? Some of the armor was made out of leather and metal on the inside, and some cloth in other parts. They also had to march 20 miles every day! Can you imagine that??? And while they marched they had to wear their armor. Along with that, they were expected to carry there own food and camping gear. Its like us going on a camping trip. Isn't that what our soldiers in Iraq are doing? Both of the soldiers w hether its the Romans or our soldiers they still do the same thing. They want freedom and the Romans also want there space and more land. They also protected and fought together. They were all ready and prepared. They marched in a straight line to help them. These are Roman Soldiers marching there way to war.

Today, soldiers set up camps and have to carry all of their belongings with them to these camps and through to get where ever it is they need to be,as did Roman soldiers. However, today we have transportation such as helicopters, planes, and tanks.
