The Roman army was organized into legions of 5,000 men commanded by a legate. Each legion was divided into 10 cohorts made up of centuries of around 100 men each, commanded by centurions. Centurions were important leaders responsible for training soldiers. Each century had its own standard carried by an experienced standard bearer. Roman citizens between 18-20 years old who were at least 1.6 meters tall could join the legion for 25 years of service. Training included long marches while carrying heavy equipment and drilling maneuvers. Auxiliaries from conquered lands also fought for Rome, including cavalry and archers who were considered second-class soldiers.

The Rise of Rome
The document summarizes the rise and fall of the Roman Republic and the establishment of the Roman Empire. It traces Roman history from its founding myths to the establishment of the Republic and its struggles with the patrician and plebeian classes. It then discusses Rome's expansion through war with Carthage and conquest of the Mediterranean world. Internal problems and conflict between political factions led to the breakdown of the Republic and the rise of Julius Caesar as a dictator, followed by the establishment of the Roman Empire under Augustus Caesar. The Empire reached its height under the "Five Good Emperors" before various crises contributed to its eventual decline.

Roman Beginnings
- Prince Aeneas led Trojans to Italy where they joined the Latins and settled on the Palatine Hill near Rome. The myth of Romulus and Remus tells that they were fathered by the god Mars and went on to found Rome.
- The Etruscans were Italy's first highly civilized people located north of Rome. They built walled cities, had a class system, and influenced Roman religion, architecture like the arch, and military techniques.
- Gladiatorial games developed from Etruscan funeral rituals involving slaves fighting to the death and became a major form of entertainment in Rome, especially in the Colosseum. They served the political purpose
Roman Technology
Roman technology is the engineering practice which supported Roman civilization and made the expansion of Roman commerce and Roman military possible over nearly a thousand years, if the Byzantine Empire is included.
The Roman Empire had one of the most advanced set of technologies of its time, some of which was lost during the turbulent eras of Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages. Gradually, some of the technological feats of the Romans were rediscovered and/or improved upon, while others went ahead of what the Romans had done during the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Modern Era. Several Roman technological feats in different areas like civil engineering, construction materials, transport technology, and some inventions such as the mechanical reaper, were surprising achievements until the 19th century, and some, such as the arch, have remained untouched to this day.[citation needed] The Romans achieved high levels of technology in large part because they borrowed heavily from and absorbed the culture of the established Hellenised people of the Mediterranean basin.[citation needed]

An Introduction To The Roman Army
Year 9 Latin Research Project - the Roman Army Training, Weapons and Structure.
By Nathan Hancock, George Preston, Alex Firth and Uzayr Nazir
Religion and the Roman Army
The document summarizes religion and its role in the Roman army from the early empire through late antiquity in 3 parts:
1. Religion was initially important for military victory and imperial legitimacy. Soldiers worshipped gods of war and victory. Some Christians served but were seen as a threat.
2. Later, Christianity rose in prominence. The Christian God was believed to grant victory to Roman armies. Religious practices in the army shifted to support Christianity.
3. By late antiquity, military defeats were sometimes interpreted as divine punishment for religious errors or sins. God was seen to use foreign armies to discipline Romans. The army remained a highly religious institution even as Christianity became dominant.
Punic Wars
The document summarizes the three Punic Wars between Rome and Carthage between 264-146 BC. The First Punic War was primarily a naval conflict that Rome eventually won by adapting its naval tactics. The Second Punic War featured Hannibal's surprise invasion of Italy over the Alps. Although Hannibal won several battles, he could not defeat Rome. Rome ultimately defeated Carthage in North Africa under Scipio. The Third Punic War ended with Rome destroying Carthage completely.
2.1 rise and expansion of rome protected
Rome began as a small village but grew into a powerful republic. It eventually became a large empire under Augustus, controlling most of the Mediterranean. During this period, Christianity emerged and spread within the Roman world, becoming one of the most influential global religions today with over two billion followers.
Roman army
The Roman Army was made up of professional soldiers from across the Roman Empire who served for at least 25 years. Soldiers of higher ranks like centurions led groups of 80 ordinary soldiers. Centurions could punish disobedient soldiers with sticks. Roman soldiers underwent rigorous training and were expected to march long distances in armor while carrying their equipment. They fought in tight battle formations using coordinated shield tactics.
Fall Of The Republic, Rise Of An Empire
Roman entertainment such as theaters, circuses, and gladiator fights in the Colosseum helped keep citizens happy and distracted from the empire's problems. The large size of the empire made it difficult for the Senate to govern effectively, leading to corruption and economic issues. This contributed to the fall of the Roman Republic. Julius Caesar took power as a dictator but was later assassinated, plunging Rome into further chaos. Augustus restored order as the first emperor, beginning the Pax Romana period of prosperity and stability that lasted over 200 years.
How was ancient rome successful in war pp
Ancient Rome was successful in war due to their effective weapons, tactics, and armor. Their main weapons were the gladius sword, pilum spear, and plumbata darts. They had specialized troops and varied their tactics for different battles. Soldiers wore full armor including helmets and metal armor to protect themselves. Rome reused captured weapons and gained wealth and resources from defeated enemies, allowing them to expand their empire through successive military victories over a period of centuries.

The republic was ruled by consuls, senators, and citizen assemblies and expanded Rome's territory through military conquests.
Ancient Roman Army Powerpoint
The Roman Army was a highly organized fighting force. It was composed of legions of approximately 5,000 soldiers each. Each legion was further divided into subgroups of 80 soldiers called centuries. There were specific ranks within the army, and soldiers served for 25 years to earn citizenship. Roman soldiers were equipped with weapons like swords, spears and javelins for combat.

The most important legislative assembly was the Centuriate Assembly, which was based on wealth and age and elected censors and magistrates. The executive branch offices were collegial with annual tenure and imperium.

Rome intro, geography, etruscans
The geographic location of the Italian peninsula in the central Mediterranean provided easy access to trade routes between Europe, Asia and Africa, which contributed to Rome's rise. The rugged mountains also provided protection for the northern Italian settlements. The Etruscans were the first inhabitants of northern Italy from around 750 BCE and conquered Rome around 600 BCE. They introduced artistic styles, religious practices, the alphabet and other cultural influences. The Etruscans ruled Rome under a monarchy for over 200 years until the last Etruscan king, Tarquin the Proud, was expelled in 509 BCE due to a popular rebellion, paving the way for Rome to establish itself as a republic.

The Roman army had a complex command structure and various unit types. It consisted of land, sea, and air forces. The land forces included combat units like heavy and light infantry and cavalry, as well as general staff and supply units. The navy was called the Roman navy. The main land combat unit was the legion, composed of cohorts which were made up of centuria. Auxillary units included alae cavalry wings and cohors infantry cohorts. Officers included generals, tribunes, and the praefectus castrorum. Standards and ranks were displayed through items like fasces, vexilla banners, and insignia carried by positions like the aquilifer and signifer.

Military Organization Jessica Levin
The Roman army evolved over time from using the phalanx formation to developing new battle techniques using three battle lines. They eventually standardized their army into legions, each led by a legatus for around 3 years. The Roman military hierarchy had senior officers like the dux and legatus legionis, mid-level officers such as the primus pilus and centurious, and lowest officers like the legionarii and tirons. Modern militaries continue to be influenced by the Roman system, using a ranked structure and separating forces into army and navy branches.

At the lowest level, 8 soldiers made up a contubernium, which lived and trained together. 10 contubernia made up a century of 80 men led by a centurion. Six centuries comprised a cohort of 480 soldiers commanded by a young senator. Ten cohorts, totaling 4,800 men, constituted a legion under the command of a legate. There were approximately 30 legions in the entire Roman army, totaling around 180,000 soldiers organized into this efficient military system.
