Things that I found interesting;
- Focused mostly on gymnactics and swimming for their strength and agility training
- Would practice with with armatura, which were wooden weapons to master for close combat
- Would run long distances with all their armor on, so they would be able to in battle
- They would practice fighting with one another, and would stab each other as hard as they could (with wooden weapons)
- At the beginning of the Roman Republic, most soldiers were big, strong, but slow, and later on, they relized this and trained them more with agility than strength
- The best recruits were alway sent to the front lines when they finished training
- After they completed their training, they were assigned to a legion, which would branch of and of into smaller groups
- How were the ranks organized? Was it like in today's military, like general and stuff?
this is great because it tells us exactly what they did and used for their training
ReplyDeleteThis post made me realize how the Roman Military gained their strength. I realized this because they use swimming and gymnatics for strengh and agility training and for both of those you have to be very strong.
