 | | During the 4th century, they likely continued to fight in phalanx, as those warriors did who their memories could probably still recall! These men were the eldest and most experienced men in the army, and the age range was between 45 and 60, to generalize, for these men. |
 | | Archers were primarily all mercenaries, I’m sure, and would have played little in the battles of the mid 4th century BC Roman field armies, which were heavily dependant on their infantry forces. |
 | | This unit, which was the basis of the Legion of the 4th Century BC, would have been in a line with 14 other units it’s own size, to create a legion of infantry, and the total number of troops would be about 5,000 men. |
