The Roman army was one of the most successful in history. They were feared by many other people. The roman soldiers were like the soldiers today because they have to leave their family to serve their country. The soldiers also write try to write to their families as much as they can. The Roman army was very important politically. The minimum term of service was 20 years. The soldiers always like real battle rather than training. They say real battle is more fun. The soldiers were more loyal to their legions and combat leaders than to the emperor. When Augustus was emperor there were 60 legions in Rome. The life of soldiers was hard.
