I actually faired very well as a legionnaire. I was able to get out early, got elected to pontiff maximus, later I was elected to consul fulfilling my life long dream. I was loved by the people for all I accomplished on their behalf and hated by some of the no account senators because of jealousy (weak men) but a stroke of luck and some slick political manuvering got me appointed governor of 2 provinces and commander of 4 legions. I would use my own fortune to raise up another 8 and legions payed by me and completely loyal to me as well. We would go on to conquer all of Gaul and even travel to the magical (at least we thought it was at the time) island of the Brits. When that was over I was elected to consul again before those traitors killed me at work one day. Conspiracy theories are a undeniable truth to reality and I got 23 stab wounds to prove it. All and I would say that I faired very well in the Roman army.

Yeah, he was perhaps the most amazing man to ever live. His clemency may have played a major role in his death but he also dropped the ball in not anticipating that all the pathetic lesser lights might attempt to assassinate him. How over 60 prominent Romans, not only his former enemies but even his friends and associates including his best mate, Domitius Brutus, could hatch a plot to kill him, without him finding out is incomprehensible. I even suspect that Antony was in the "know" given his close association with Trebonius and the way he and Lepidus bent over backwards to accommodate and forgive Caesar's killers.

When talking about the Roman weaponry you mention they have a Pilum (They actually carried 2) and then immediatly after say they had no ranged weapons. The Pilum was a ranged weapon. You threw it like a spear. As you mentioned it was designed to bend on impact so if it hit an enemies shield it would be difficult to remove making the shield useless. They carried to of these and threw them at an enemy before they engaged with sword fighting.

I just popped over to Wikipedia because I recalled that they used slings and what do I find within 1 minute on the Roman Military Personal Equipment page but a section on... projectile weapons. Bows, crossbows, throwing barbs, and on other pages I confirm that they did have slingers. Add in ranged siege weapons such as ballista and it is clear that the Roman military used ranged weaponry a whole lot.

@@ladyabaxa Over Rome's 1200 years of existence the Army changed it's components dramatically and multiple times over the centuries. In early Roman Republic your income dictated which section you would belong to because each soldier had to pay for each piece of equipment they used. The poorest soldiers were called Skirmishers. They only had a light shield and a sling/spears. Skirmishers were used exclusively as ranged combatants. However Skirmishers were no longer used when they introduced the Manifold system during the Samnite Wars.

During the early days of Rome (prior to the Marian reforms) only the patricians and somewhat-rich plebeians could get into the military service though.

Good video, although I must specify that the Romans used subjugated foreign reigns and barbaric tribes very often to enlarge theire ranks. This was done by giving gifts and privileges to the elite of the foreigners in order to keep them friendly. This was to alleviate the amount of men necessary on the frontier or for patrol duties. But it's very right that those people where expendables, and were attacked when the situation requested it.

The image of a pilum does not really look like one, instead it appears like a hoplite?

I'm pretty sure I'd do well . I'm a combat veteran who was in great shape before I enlisted.

It wasn't exclusively a 25 year service. In later imperial times, end your service there after 20 years with your honesta missio. Your discharge bonus would be considerably lower, though - while, for example, in the 4th century, a veteran of 25 years would be excused 5 capita (heads) of taxation in kind, one having served only 20 years would receive only 2 capita exemption - presumably for himself and his wife [found on the Brigetio tablet].

@@jacobadam6804 Rome conquered Sparta in 146bc and from then on Sparta became apart of the eastern roman empire. And it was just a joke. Then along you come to be a complete asshole trying to bring someone down in the KZitem comments. So who's really the one lacking intelligence here?

The only 'prison time' anyone got in the ancient world was the short stay between capture/judgement and execution. 'Prison time' was not a concept of punishment in the Ancient world. Almost every punishment given any Roman military personnel was usually immediate and severe. Summary judgement by commanding officers if you will. In the field there's no higher authority.The wealthy had 'house arrest' and the hoi polloi were either enslaved or went to the Flavian Ampitheater to die or various other cruel fates the Romans could dream up. Political prisoners like Vercingetorix and many other enemies of Rome were held only until a triumph parade or festival was held and they were publicly strangled usually. The Romans loved to rub it in to their defeated enemies pulling them in chains through the streets. What a scene. The Mamertime prison of Ancient Rome, which is still standing, never saw any lengthy stays of anyone. The one's that did stay for a short period, didn't live much longer after they left it. I enjoy these videos.
