If on the move they had to march up to 50 km a day carrying their armour, weapons, equipment and a stake for the pallisade of their camps. When they camped each night, they had to build a camp with a ditch, mound and pallisade, erect their tents (carried on mules or wagons), carry out domestic tasks helping cooks, armourers etc, and clean and repair their equipment and weapons. They also had to carry out sentry duties (automatic death penalty for sleeping on watch). There might be a couple of hours of daily rest in all that. They also had to forage daily for food, harvesting grain and fruit, rounding up and butchering cattle, winning and carrying water, fending off attackers while doing all this. And then sometimes they had regular battles to help fill in their day; if not there was always regular individual and collective training.
An Ancient Soldier is apart of the Roman army. They lived like every other person, only they are trained at an early age, to defend themselves, their people and their country.Ê

A Silent Soldier is a poem by Trina Parry-Plater. It describes what it is like to be the wife of a soldier.
Life for a Roman gladiator could be likened to the life of a soldier. Both groups went through rigorous training and had to obey orders. However the soldier was able, at times, to leave his barracks, while the gladiator, especially if a slave, usually could not.

Post 2835 of 4027Since 7/7/2004It was brought up in another thread that Paul got his Roman citizenship by serving as a soldier for at least 20 years. This was the only way a non-italian non-Roman born could do it.I remember an illustration - in one of the big books, like "things in which it is impossible for God to lie" or "life everlasting" where Saul of Tarsus is pictured holding the robes of those who are stoning christians to death.He is dressed as a Roman soldier with a metal breast plate. Anybody have a scan of this?I am also convinced that his illustration of spiritual armor is based on his training as a Roman soldier. That is where he would have been trained to make and mend tents of course.HB
From a professional standpoint, in what areas would you like more training?

Depressing
Like any other soldier, he would have to be demobilised in an orderly fashion.
The Roman army had to carry all of its gear wherever it went, so the soldier often had to carry very heavy packs, like a mule.
A Roman soldier's shield was called a scutum.
