Home Nero Roman Roads Life Of A Roman Soldier Coloseum Slaves Life as a roman soldier the roman men were asked to leave their farm to fight for a while in the roman army and then they ended up staying in war for a really long time. about eight siolders shared a tent togeher   and they also ate with each other too. They were disiplend by a thing called flogging which is being whipped. And sometimes   they had their head cut off! But they were paid and offten it was what they took from the places they invaded. The men had to     carry large amounts of gear and it was very heavy even for the strong men. The fighting was easyer then walking or camp work. they were not allowed to marry but they could have girl        friends in the settlements near by. They ate any vegtibles they could find and they had porridge. There uniform was made of    iorn, bronze and brass. They dressed in a helmet and a breast plate along with arm and leg guards and boots, but the boots   looked a lot like sandels. The roman soldiers had many wepons like shileds, swords,daggers and knifes. The soldiers carried the shield in their left hand and they learned how to make a formation out of all the sheilds called a tortios which could be  used to defend them from being hit with rocks and arrows or    what was thrown athem. They also used a catapult to fling rocks in the air,  they could weigh up to 66 puonds. They were so  strong they could make holes in the walls of the emimes.
