Legionaries

Legionaries were soldiers in the ancient Roman army, specifically part of the legion, which was the main military unit. Each legion consisted of about 4,500 to 6,000 men, and legionaries were typically Roman citizens who underwent rigorous training and were well-equipped for battle. They played a crucial role in Rome's military campaigns, helping to expand and protect the empire. Legionaries were known for their discipline, organization, and use of advanced tactics and formations, such as the testudo or "tortoise" formation, designed to protect them from enemy attacks during warfare.
