ANCIENT ROME
WHO WERE THE ROMANS
The Romans were the people who lived in the
city called Rome which is situated in Italy. Rome
was the greatest city of its time and at one point
it had nearly one million people living in it.
THE ROMAN ARMY
The Roman Army was a large group of
soldiers run by Caesar to conquer vast parts
of Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.
The army was organised in a very simple way:
5000 Legionaries (Roman Citizens who were
in the army) would form a Legion.
A Roman Soldier
The Legion would be split into centuries (80
men) controlled by a Centurion.
The centuries would then be divided into
smaller groups with different jobs to perform.
