Slide 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
Slide 51
Organization of Roman Army Centurions were very important men
responsible for training the soldiers under their command and
making sure everyone obeyed orders.
Slide 52

carried by the standard bearer-an experienced & trusted
soldier. Losing standard=a disgrace

army for 25 years
Slide 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)
Slide 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
Slide 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!)
