Roman legions on canvas, poster, wallpaper and ArtFrame by Pixelbull Design

The Roman legions had a complex structure and consisted of several hierarchical levels and units. Each legion was divided into ten cohorts, with the first cohort being the strongest and best trained. Each cohort was further subdivided into centurions, which consisted of around 80 to 100 soldiers and were led by a centurion. The smallest unit was the contubernium, a group of eight soldiers who lived and fought together. In addition to infantry, the legions also had support units such as cavalry (equites) and auxiliary troops (auxilia), which were often made up of non-Roman allies and had specialized skills such as archery or close combat. The coats of arms or signa of the legions often had symbolic representations that stood for unity and courage. Common symbols included the eagle (aquila), which was considered a sign of honour and Roman pride, as well as mythical animals or deities symbolizing protection and strength. Each legion had a specific symbol and often a number as well as a name, for example Legio X Gemina (the “twin legion”). The standards were often elaborately decorated and were proudly carried on the battlefield and during parades.
