Weapons and Supplies of a Roman soldier aqueducts roads Augustus caesar colosseum slaves Roman soldiers homepage __ Weapons and Supplies of a Roman Soldier  __ Roman soldiers were very important. They are in charge of keeping Rome  safe from its enemies. Of course they couldn’t do their job if they didn’t have their weapons and other supplies. Roman soldiers used a small sword for stabbing and a throwing spear called a pilum. The pilum can bend another soldier’s shield and is very hard to get it out. The enemy soldier would have to throw the shield away. They also carried rectangular shields, wore a helmet, and overlapping iron band armour. So keep in mind never, I mean NEVER attack a Roman soldier.
