THE ROMAN ARMY

How was the Roman Army organised? Main part of the army was the LEGION This was made up of 5000 men under the command of the LEGATE

How the Roman Army was organised The legion was divided into ten cohorts Each cohort was made up of five centuries The centuries were commanded by a centurion Centuries originally had 100 men

How the Roman Army was organised The centurions were very important men They were responsible for training the soldiers under their command and making sure everyone obeyed orders. Some were very cruel

Standard Bearers Each century had its own emblem or standard. This was carried by the standard bearer, a very experienced and trusted soldier To lose your standard was a great disgrace

How to become a Legionary! You had to be a Roman citizen You had to be physically fit and 1.6m tall You were expected to stay in the army for 25 years

Training Most soldiers joined between 18-20 years old There were three 18 mile marches each month On each march the legionary would carry 50 lbs of equipment

Training Legionaries would also learn drill, or marching This was important for learning manoeuvres in battle New recruits were given shields and swords twice as heavy as the real thing!

Who else was in the Army? Auxiliaries- These were soldiers from lands conquered by the Romans who volunteered to fight for the Romans many of these had special skills- like cavalry soldiers

Auxiliaries Archers Most fought with a sword and short spear Thought of by Romans as second class soldiers , paid less and not trained as rigorously After 25 years- they became Citizens (and their children too!)
