The Roman Legion, the ultimate military machine of the ancient world, was the catalyst that spread Roman conquest and civilization throughout the known world. The core of the Roman legion consisted of heavily armored infantry.

Disciplined and well trained Legionaries fought in closed ranks against many warrior based armies, where each man fought for personal glory.

With superior tactics and organization, designed specifically for technology such as the Gladius, the Legion was an unstoppable force for nearly a millennium.

It was among the first paid full time professional army in the world.
