What It Was Like to Be a Roman Soldier
Over centuries, the Roman Empire conquered almost the entirety of Europe, giving generation after generation the chance to spill blood on the Roman battlefield. From the cold marshes of Britannia to the burning deserts of Carthage, the infamous Roman army invaded, conquered, and occupied massive tracts of land. As a civilization, Rome remains an impressive chapter in the history books.
This is a glimpse into Roman Soldier's reality.

Roman Military Technology and Tactics
Subscribe – http://goo.gl/wpc2Q1
2000 years ago the Roman army is the best equipped army in the world. While architects have mastered the art of manipulating stone and concrete, military engineers have fashioned metal and wood to create devastating weapons of war.
The Roman foot soldiers main weapon is a fearsome sword called the Gladius, a double edged blade with a sharp point used for stabbing and thrusting, rather than slashing. When not fighting at close quarters, their spear, called a pilum, could kill from a distance with lethal accuracy.
Protecting soldiers from injury is just as important as arming them for attack. Early Roman soldiers wear chainmail, but armourers come up with a far superior form of protection. Articulated plate armour called lorica segmentata, made from ov...

The Roman Soldier That Saw The Last Minutes of JESUS on the Cross.
The Roman soldier traditionally associated with witnessing the crucifixion of Jesus Christ is not explicitly named in the canonical Gospels of the New Testament. However, he is often referred to as the centurion. The Gospel of Matthew (27:54) states:
"Now the centurion, and those who were with him keeping guard over Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were happening, became very frightened and said, 'Truly this was the Son of God!'"
In the Gospel of Mark (15:39), a similar account is provided:
"When the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that in this way he breathed his last, he said, 'Truly this man was the Son of God!'"
The Gospel of Luke (23:47) also mentions the centurion's response:
"Now when the centurion saw what had taken place, he praised God, saying, 'C...

2000 years ago the Roman army is the best equipped army in the world. While architects have mastered the art of manipulating stone and concrete, military engineers have fashioned metal and wood to create devastating weapons of war.
The Roman foot soldiers main weapon is a fearsome sword called the Gladius, a double edged blade with a sharp point used for stabbing and thrusting, rather than slashing. When not fighting at close quarters, their spear, called a pilum, could kill from a distance with lethal accuracy.
Protecting soldiers from injury is just as important as arming them for attack. Early Roman soldiers wear chainmail, but armourers come up with a far superior form of protection. Articulated plate armour called lorica segmentata, made from overlapping iron plates joined together by leather straps, as flexible as chainmail, but one third lighter.
If the romans weaponry has a modern feel, then so does the tactics they use. The Roman legions know exactly how to fight heavily armed foes. They use the testudo, Latin for tortoise. Legionaries bunch together and lock their shields in formation to create a protective screen, a formation as effective in attack, as it is in defence.
Few examples of Roman artillery survive, but they left detailed clues as to how to recreate them. The Ermine Street Guard Roman Reenactment Society is dedicated to research into the Roman Army and the reconstruction of Roman armour and equipment.
The scorpion fires iron tipped bolts, used in the first stages of attack and during sieges. It fires arrows at incredible speeds, pierces armour, and kills instantly, a bit like a giant crossbow. Although an effective anti-personnel weapon, the scorpion is of little use when attacking a building.
For that the Romans need something with a bit more punch, the onager and the ballista. These pieces of artillery fire large stones at the enemy. During sieges they propel projectiles so high into the air that they can break down enemy walls. The whizzing noise of the stones strikes terror into Rome’s enemies. To increase the fear factor they’re painted black so harder to see.
The ballista works like the scorpion, but is bigger and more powerful. It can fire a 60 pound stone or a 3 foot bolt around 15,000 feet allowing the soldiers to stand well away from enemy archers. The speed of the missile is phenomenal hitting its target at about 115 mph, anyone sustaining a direct hit would be killed instantly.
The onager uses a different principle, it catapults basketball sized stones nearly 100 feet using a single arm and sling. The vertical arm is powered by a large horizontal skein of rope, coiled and twisted to create a rotational force, the skein acts like a spring storing energy to be released on firing.
The combination of technology and tactics makes the Roman army the premier fighting force in Europe for 500 years and influences military tactics for the next 1,500.

Additional clips were produced in collaboration with "Nova Polaris" and "Veteres Milites Sibiu"
In this history documentary we look at the topics of pay and promotion in the Roman army. This begins with a review of the early Roman Army of the Republic which was a militia based system with neither of these standarzied. However as the state expanded such systems would become necessary, especially with the transition to a fully professional army in the Roman Empire.
We then discuss pay in the Roman Army. This covers everything from their basic salary, to bonuses, and other forms of compensation. We then turn to an understanding of the organization of the Roman Army and how one might advance up the ranks of a legion from a recruit, to a centurion, and beyond.

Step back into the first century AD with Survive History as we explore the challenges faced by Roman soldiers on the frontier of the Empire. In this immersive episode, filmed at a meticulously reconstructed Roman fort on the Welsh border, we explore the daily life of a Roman soldier.
With the help of volunteers from the Roman Military Research Society, we ask whether you could survive serving in a remote outpost on the edge of ‘barbaricum’. From the secrets of Roman military training, to the intricacies of Roman weapons and armour, we discover what made the Roman army such a successful force on the battlefield. We also experience the power of Roman ranged weapons, from the bow to the ballista.
We learn about the differences between Roman legionaries and auxiliaries, discover what Roman soldiers ate, and how they dealt with terrifying barbarian foes like Sarmatian horse archers. And we find out what it takes to construct a full-size first century Roman fort from the build team at Park in the Past - a truly unique construction project.
So the question is, could you survive as a soldier on the Roman frontier?

Step back into the first century AD with Survive History as we explore the challenges faced by Roman soldiers on the frontier of the Empire. In this immersive episode, filmed at a meticulously reconstructed Roman fort on the Welsh border, we explore the daily life of a Roman soldier.
With the help of volunteers from the Roman Military Research Society, we ask whether you could survive serving in a remote outpost on the edge of ‘barbaricum’. From the secrets of Roman military training, to the intricacies of Roman weapons and armour, we discover what made the Roman army such a successful force on the battlefield. We also experience the power of Roman ranged weapons, from the bow to the ballista.

The Roman Soldier That Saw The Last Minutes of JESUS on the Cross.

The Roman soldier traditionally associated with witnessing the crucifixion of Jesus Christ is not explicitly named in the canonical Gospels of the New Testament. However, he is often referred to as the centurion. The Gospel of Matthew (27:54) states:
"Now the centurion, and those who were with him keeping guard over Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were happening, became very frightened and said, 'Truly this was the Son of God!'"
In the Gospel of Mark (15:39), a similar account is provided:
"When the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that in this way he breathed his last, he said, 'Truly this man was the Son of God!'"
The Gospel of Luke (23:47) also mentions the centurion's response:
"Now when the centurion saw what had taken place, he praised God, saying, 'Certainly this man was innocent!'"
In these accounts, the centurion acknowledges the extraordinary events that accompanied Jesus' death, such as the earthquake and the manner of his passing, and makes a statement affirming Jesus as the Son of God or an innocent man.
It's important to note that while the biblical accounts emphasize the centurion's recognition of the significance of Jesus' death, they do not provide a detailed personal narrative for this Roman soldier. The additional details about a specific Roman soldier named Longinus, who pierced Jesus' side with a spear and subsequently converted, are not found in the canonical Gospels but are part of later Christian traditions and apocryphal writings.

Documentary simulating a Roman Army on the March! 📲 Install Raid for Free Mobile and PC: https://pl.go-ga.me/75jyydya and get a special starter pack with an Epic champion Drake 🔥 Use the Promo Code JTSKIN before October 7th to get both the Epic Champion Stag Knight and Gilded Glider Custom Skin!
You can redeem the Promo Code either via this site https://plarium.com/en/redeem/raid-shadow-legends/, or inside RAID: Shadow Legends itself if you are playing via an Android device or on Plarium Play.
In this history documentary we bring to life the insane scale of a Roman Army on the March! We begin with the basic marching rates for individual soldiers to establish a baseline for our analysis. We then calculate the true size of a Roman Army made up of four legions and its auxiliaries. These are then placed four men across and arranged end to end to calculate their maximum length of over 25 kilometers. However this is just part of the story.
We then cover the logistics of actually moving a force of this size from point A to point B. This is done by simulating a 24 hour cycle of a Roman army on the march. The result is a stunning 3D rendering in Unreal Engine 5 of what such a monstrously large force would have looked like. This hopefully gives you a better appreciation for the mechanics of ancient armies and how disasters such as the Battle of Teutoburg Forest could have unfolded.
