Gaining rank in the Roman army was not easy. During times of active battles, there was the chance of a man being promoted as the centurions led their men into battle. They were the first on the line and consequently had a high mortality rate. But in ordinary circumstances (the Roman army spent the majority of their time in non battle situations) a man had to wait until there was an opening, which could take years. In the meantime he had to try to gain favorable attention to himself by showing leadership abilities or special skills. The quickest way to promotion, by far, was to know somebody. The army, like civilian life, had its politics. If a man did a favor or became friends with an officer, that officer would remember him. If a man were a relative of someone who had a connection with the legion, he would be recognized. There were also times when a man could be transferred to another legion with a promotion.
