Roman Military Training

Military is a big part of how countries protect themselves in the world. Many countries have militaries. Some military strategies, weapons, and tactics came from ancient history.

A theory that said that the Roman army became weaker is a top three reason because an empire was successful when there was a strong, courageous, and persistent military that had the will to protect people. However, after the year of 400 C.E, military soldiers were willing not to wear certain parts of their armor. In Document B, the text stated, “But when, because of negligence and laziness...customary armor began to seem heavy since the soldiers rarely ever wore it.” This quote is an example of the beginning of a declining and weakening army. Military members were beginning to become lazy and stubborn forcing them to refuse to wear armor due to the heavy weight.

Another aspect to look at is the moral of the unit. Moral of soldiers must be intact to hold soldiers together in the harsh environments they may face.

They had excellently made armor that was very strong and they had great equipment for fighting such as a pilum which was made out of wood and had a sharp iron spear at the top of it. They used the pilum for piercing the enemy’s shield because it was really hard to pull out, so the enemy couldn’t use it anymore. The Roman army also had a small sword for stabbing called a gladius. Those two weapons were their main weapons. Their armor was also designed really well.

These are just a few of the army values and how they play an important part in an effective leader and follower’s day to day

The Roman army was very successful, due to the great organization, strict discipline and planned actions.

The Roman Empire started out small in the beginning but was able to grow into a large power. The Romans had a little amount of land when it was founded so they used their military for the purpose of expanding and gaining more land.

The Roman Empire used its troops to conquer an area then use its troops to assimilate the local population into the Roman culture to help lower the chance of uprising from the locals.

Rome 's success was basically due to skillful diplomacy and to its loyal, well-trained army. Another way they were successful is by the build up of their army. Those who were defeated were recruited. Those

“Discipline and pride build individual morale and a collective esprit de corps” resulting in high performance and conduct.
