Ostrogothic Kingdom (The Last Roman) Melee Infantry

Iuvenes

'Iuvenis' - or 'juvenis' - literally translates to 'youth' or 'young man'. In a military context, there is speculation as to their exact use within the war machine of first the Roman Empire and later the Ostrogoths, but it is known that at least during times of emergency, iuvenes were drafted into military operations from 'collegia iuvenum' - literally 'youth clubs' - which concentrated on physical exercise and military training. Following the fall of Western Rome, iuvenes continued to be drafted to fight alongside the regular army during times of war. The Goths and Ostrogoths, particularly, were known to have issued specific orders to "bring forth" their young men for military service.
