Did Rome really build soldiers who could not get tired? From Hadrian’s inspection at Lambaesis to a sick list from Vindolanda, from the mutiny of AD 14 to Severus’s disastrous Scottish campaign, this video follows what the ancient sources and archaeology show about how Roman soldiers were trained, fed, doctored, and paid to keep going. The real answer is stranger than yes or no.
Covers the legions and auxiliaries from about 100 BC to AD 235, with sources including Josephus, Polybius, Tacitus, Cassius Dio, and the Vindolanda tablets.
