| Between 5000 and 6000 legionaries made up a legion that was commanded by a legatus. |
| The legionaries began putting on their armour, fastened the greave protecting the right leg, and took up bucklers and lances. |
| The finds include a shoulder-guard of iron scales held together with bronze wire, and examples of the laminated armour used by legionaries to protect their sword arms. |
| Then the Roman legionaries swept away the smoking ashes and sowed the land with salt to prevent anything from ever growing there again. |
| Military training was emphasized and legionaries were put through rigorous and continuous training. |
| When the teams formally slip on to the rink the Eagles are greeted like returning legionaries, to whom they bear more than a passing resemblance. |
