Ostrogothic Kingdom (The Last Roman) Spear Infantry

Spear Milites

Milite was a professional rank in the Roman army from as far back as the Marian reforms of 107BC. Once the Western Empire collapsed, the power behind the throne - Flavius Odoacer - assumed control of the fragmented Imperial machine, creating his 'Kingdom of Italy' and inhabiting much of the pre-existing Imperial military and civil infrastructure. Under the new regime, milites became the general rank and file infantry troops that constituted the bulk of its army. As unspecialised troops, they lacked any focused training, and were also used away from the battlefield for guard duty, construction works and other rudimentary roles. As time went on, however, the word 'milites' became a general term for soldiers, regardless of their function. Milites generally served for several years in their relatively lowly positions until they could becoming veterans and therefore 'immunes' who, as their name suggests, were excused from the more menial, and often dangerous, tasks assigned to the less experienced troops.
