Description
Roman Legion

Of all the greatest ancient warriors – the Romans were perhaps the most pragmatic. The Roman military took whatever worked and gradually made it into their own. A Roman legion normally indicates the basic ancient Roman army unit recruited specifically from Roman citizens. The organization of legions varied greatly over time, but they were typically composed of up to 5,400 soldiers. They were the backbone of the Roman army that led to an empire that was unrivaled in terms of size and power. They were usually heavy infantry with armor and a shield modeled after the ancient Greeks.

Legions were masters of the sword and spear combination going along with a shield. They were made up of the wealthiest soldiers that could afford to make the best weapons and armor. Because of the enormous military successes of the Roman Empire, they have long been regarded as the prime ancient model for military efficiency and ability.
