In the Roman army there is 30 legions. In a legion there are about 5,000 men. The men are called legionaires!
The Men Who really ran the Roman army were called centurions. They were paid as five times as much as ordinary soldiers. Each commanded a Century. Every centurion carried a short stick which he used to push men into line, or hit them with. Most soldiers were more afraid of their centurion than they were from their enemy!
