Native Latin Spearmen

Oft-times, the common man fights for their home with nothing more than a simple spear.

Long before the Romans became a continent-spanning superpower, they were a small tribe of Latin origin living between the River Tiber and the ridge of Mount Circeo. They were not the only Latin peoples living there - the entire region was populated by city-states who maintained close cultural and religious ties, sharing festivals such as Feriae Latinae. Rome itself became a city around 625BC, when a group of separate settlements from various hills joined together. At that time, the dominating culture in the region was Etruscan, from which the Romans adapted many of their beliefs, rituals, and military traditions. As Rome grew larger to encompass more and more local tribes, so too grew its army, from a founding force of around three thousand infantry supported by three hundred horsemen, to the imposing, world-beating Legions of the Roman Empire. Social class dictated the army's quality, as each warrior brought their own equipment and the poorest were excluded due to poor-quality weapons and non-existent armour. However, citizens considered military service a duty to the state, meaning that Latin warriors were never in short supply.
