The Roman Legion

The Roman Empire, perhaps the greatest and my favorite nation (besides my own, obviously) to exist. Behind such greatness were the Legions that fought for it. This infographic details the legion of the post-Marian Reforms in 107 BC, with the familiar late Republic and early Empire legionaries and their organization.

Please keep in mind that this infographic does not suit to become a reference for any academic papers on the Romans, as it was made mostly from memory for my design class. Also, due to lack of space, I have decided to not spill all minor details about them carrying all their tools and rations during a march, that the chain of command is far more complex, that they not always won such as the case of the tragic assault in Teutoberg Forest at 9 CE, that...

Okay, point is that I could go on and on about tactics and history, but at the very least this will give the barebones of what someone interested might want to know.
