Western civilization University high school 2011-12 ROMAN MILITARY

The Roman Military difficult to estimate size almost entirely male 700,000 soldiers? 3.5 million? almost entirely male

The Roman Military early Rome: soldiers = citizens doing civic duty seasonal campaigns against enemies later Rome: soldiers = paid professionals, paying allied/mercenary armies to fight with them salary + share of the spoils

The Roman Soldier’s Mindset good soldier = loyal to Rome, his legion (military unit) bravery is teamwork, not individual standard: flag/figure carried as symbol of the legion led army into battle like a mascot…

Military Structure single soldiers organized into Centuria: groups of 100 soldiers led by a centurion 2 Centuria = 1 Manipulus (200 soldiers) 3 Manipuli = 1 Cohort (600 soldiers) 10 Cohorts = 1 Legion (6000 soldiers) Caesar made the centuria 60 soldiers to make the legion more mobile (3600 vs. 6000 soldiers)

Roman Military Equipment uniform clothing and equipment (about 50 pounds) clothing: tunic: undergarment, often made of wool jacket/outer coat heavy boots, sandals

Roman Military Equipment armor: breastplate helmet shield weapons: javelins (designed to bend & break… why?) short sword

Roman Military Tactics Roman armies marched, set up military camps 2-5 hours to make camp 4 gates with 2 criss-crossing streets included altars, religious gathering areas
