Oath Temple

"I will always follow the orders of my commander - I will never seek to avoid death."

When they were recruited for military service, Samnite soldiers had to swear a secret oath of obedience, referred to as the ‘war oath’. New warriors were sent to the temple to take the oath in small groups. It was a common occurrence for some in the first group to refuse and try to turn away, so they were instantly slain, ensuring little resistance from groups that followed. Where temples were not present, the Samnites would swear their oath in linen tents.
