Roman legionaries – who are they?

The Emergence of the Roman Empire would not have been possible without a strong effective army that helped to expand the boundaries of the state. And the main unit of the armies of the Latins was a Roman legionary.Legionnaire

The Legion was called the basic fighting unit, composed in different years from 4 to 6 thousand soldiers. Originally the Legion was gathered only during the war, and his skeleton was made by the militia loose among the Romans, Latins and Etruscans, which was the time the main peoples of the Apennine Peninsula.

The expansion of the boundaries of the Empire allowed the neighboring Nations to experience for yourself, who is a Legionnaire. The heavy tread of Roman soldiers learned from the most Northern latitudes of the European continent to the Persian limits to the East and to the sources of the Nile in the South. Legionnaires of Rome in the century became famous as a reliable and professional soldiers that know no defeat.

Legionnaires of Rome

Structure of the Roman army

If you see in the historical texts is the word, ask who the Legionnaire, in the context of the entire piece. In the period of the Republic of Legionnaires could only be representatives of the main genera (curiae). In the heyday of Republican government, the legions consisted of three types of troops. In the heavy cavalry was composed of “gold” the Roman youth. Young men from rich and noble families in full gear, on thoroughbred horses showed valor and courage on the battlefield. Light infantry was free of the poor (slaves in Ancient Rome could serve in the army). The ranks of the heavy infantry joined the citizens who were able to buy a sword and armor.

Modern legionaries

After the fall of Rome to tell who is a foreigner, could only the priests and cranks, interested in ancient history. In our time this word has been resurrected.

Now it is used in sportivnoi terminology in all European languages.
