Maniple Roman military formation
50
Organization of Roman Army The legion divided into ten cohorts Each cohort was made up of six centuries The centuries were commanded by a centurion Centuries originally had 100 men
51
Organization of Roman Army Centurions were very important men responsible for training the soldiers under their command and making sure everyone obeyed orders.
52
Standard Bearers Each century had its own emblem or standard, carried by the standard bearer-an experienced & trusted soldier. Losing standard=a disgrace
53
How to become a Legionary! You had to be: a Roman citizen under 45 physically fit and 1.6m tall (5.3 feet) You had to: stay in the army for 25 years
54
Training Most soldiers joined between 18-20 years old three 30km marches each month (approx 18 miles), carry 25 kilos of equipment (approx 60 lbs)
55
Who else was in the Army? Auxiliaries- soldiers from lands conquered by the Romans who volunteered to fight in Roman army many of these had special skills- like cavalry soldiers
56
Auxiliaries Archers (in addition to cavalry) Most fought with a sword & short spear Thought of by Romans as second class soldiers, paid less and not trained as hard After 25 years they became citizens (and their children too!)
57
Conquest of Italy Rome imposed few conditions on its subjects Was this a good idea??? People had to provide troops to the Roman army So once Italy was conquered, Rome turned its attention to Sicily…….
