This is the force that most people think of when Romans are mentioned. The classic Lorica Segmentata and rectangular scutum of the Legionaries. It was the greatest empire of the ancient world; the Imperial Roman war machine was unrivalled in its organisation and tactics. With the tough centurions leading from the front, it was the world's first professional army and for hundreds of years the ultimate fighting machine. There was no kingdom or state that could withstand the unforgiving Legions of the Roman Empire.
