The Roman legionary is the basic military force of the late Roman republic. Consisted of male Roman Citizens under the age of 45, legionnaires are expected to serve for 25 years on campaign, policing, construction and everything in between; with their remaining 5 years allocated towards light tasks. Once retired these veterans receive a piece of land or equivalent monetary payment and sometimes status.
A typical legionnaire's baggage on campaign consists of a metal armor, helmet, shield, two javelins, gladius, dagger, food and water, cooking equipment, entrenching tools, and two stakes (for camp construction).
