Ancient Rome: Beginning With The Legionnaire

All the elders rest today

But Roman soldiers visited each senator's mansion separately.

One of the elders said very unhappily.

"What's going on this month? It's been forced twice!"

When Drusus died before, Consul Sextus also forcibly summoned the elders.

But this time it was more urgent and leisurely.

The two consuls gave the death order.

Summon all the elders in Rome.

Even some elders who had not attended the Senate meeting for a year were forcibly invited here.

The carefree elder just arrived at the meeting room and found that there were no empty seats.

Rome's 300 patriarchs reached at least 250 today.

But it was the one with the largest number of 747 people.

You must know that the Roman Republic has 30 legions.

These legion commanders need assistants, and it is impossible for Frontier to come to the parliament meeting.

That is to say, the Roman Republic had 270 people at its peak.

Today, there are actually 250 people, which is already very rare.

"Please be quiet!"

Cassius said loudly, clearing his throat.

Although he is the speaker, he is also very anxious now.

"So what happened?"

Sura looked up at Cassius on the second floor with a bad feeling.

"Sura, please restrain everyone and let everyone be quiet"

"Everyone be quiet! Since everyone is called here, there must be something important to announce!"

But at this moment, Uxmalio, who was sitting on the side, found Gaius Dulat in the corner.

Shouldn't this guy stop southern italy? Why is he back?

wait a minute.

He has a bruise on his cheek and he came to the senate in the same armor

Soon, the 270 elders finally quieted down.

Consul Phillips and Sextus looked at each other.

Consul Phillips said.

"You veterans, don't you know? Just three days ago, the Marsi people in the north captured the city of Oskun!"

As soon as this remark appeared on the scene, everyone was speechless.

The senators knew that the Italians had been seeking Roman citizenship.

Among them, the Marsi people in the north and the Samu people in the south are the most violent.

"How is this possible? The city of Osculen is well-defended, how could it be possible to capture him!"

An elder immediately questioned.

At this moment, Gaius Durat, who was sitting by the side, stood up.

"Everyone! Not only the Marcis (cceh) in the north, but also the Samuans in the south have rebelled!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone at the scene wanted to cry.

We must know that the root of the ancient Roman Republic is not the hundreds of thousands of citizens of ancient Rome, but the huge number of Italians.

The number of Roman citizens was less than 500,000, while the number of Italians exceeded 5 million.

Among the Italians, the Marcis and Samus are the most numerous.

These two shortfalls add up to more than 3 million.

In other words, the two tribes can basically represent the whole of Italy.

Now these two deficiencies are called rebels, but that is a very powerful force.

"Gaius Durat, why don't you suppress them with your legions?"

One of the elders, who didn't know whether he had drunk or woke up, raised his head and asked.

He didn't find Gaius Dulat, probably because he had gone through a fierce battle.

"Babius of the Samos are ready to rebel! When Plath and I arrived, they already had 4 legions in their hands."

"During the battle with them, Plath's army and I were wiped out, and Plath was killed on the spot!"

The opponent has gathered 4 legions.

And the seventh and eleventh legions were wiped out.

Undoubtedly, it was a heavy blow to the pampered veterans present.

"The 4 legions have some difficulties!"

The former consul Albinus said.

They defeated two elite legions.

"In fact, there are not 4 legions, they have a total of 8 legions, plus the Marci in the north, the Italian army already has 15 legions!"

hiss!

The elders present, even Marius, did not need to apologize, and breathed a sigh of relief.

15 legions.

You must know that there are only 30 legions in the entire Roman Republic.

When did the Italians form 15 legions?.
