Roman Legion March Through Conquered Territory Coloring Page

A full Roman legion contained about 5,000 soldiers organized into centuries of 80 men each. Each legion had its own number, name, and sacred eagle standard that soldiers would die to protect.

Roman soldiers carried about 60 pounds of equipment including armor, weapons, tools, cooking gear, and personal belongings. They called this heavy load 'Marius' mules' after the general who standardized it.

Roman legions could march 20 miles per day on roads, but only 12-15 miles through difficult terrain. They built fortified camps every single night, even during one-day marches.
