Lepidus' Rome (Imperator Augustus) Level 2

Combat Posts

Strength in battle does not come without effort and sacrifice.

Combat training began with simple weapon exercises using wooden swords and spears against large posts driven into the ground. Recruits were also paired up, as in gladiator schools, and taught close-quarters fighting with weighted weapons. The legionary would take up a modern boxer’s stance and learn to thrust and jab forward while protecting himself with the shield. Once they had proved themselves with training weapons, legionaries were fully equipped and instructed in formation tactics. Drill halls, or basilica exertoria, were built so that training could continue during the winter months. Unlucky recruits, or those on punishment, would just have to train outside in all weathers!
