If you are interested in history, military affairs, or ancient culture, here you will find comprehensive information about the Roman legions and units, their structure and equipment, as well as the strategies and tactics that made the Roman Empire great.

The Roman army was a professional force with a clear hierarchy, primarily composed of legionaries — heavily armed infantrymen equipped with gladii, pila, shields, and helmets. In addition to legionaries, the army included auxiliary troops, cavalry, and various specialized units such as engineers and siege crews. Their gear and weaponry evolved over centuries, reflecting changes in tactics and technology.

The main organizational elements included centuries, cohorts, and legions, each having its own number of personnel and functions. The Roman army was also known for its discipline, strict training, and ability to quickly adapt to different combat conditions. It operated not only on the territory of Italy but also across Europe, North Africa, the Near East, and Britain.

Depictions of the Roman army often show soldiers in dense formations, surrounded by camps, fortifications, and siege equipment. Military campaigns frequently took place in diverse natural and urban landscapes — from steppes and mountain passes to riverbanks and ancient cities. Images may also convey elements of military life, including marches, fortification, terrain relief, and distinctive uniform details.
