The Legionary is advised to suppress self for the sake of becoming the adequate instrument in the apostolate of spreading the Kingdom of God on earth.

The contubernium was the smallest organized unit of soldiers in the Roman Army and was comprised of eight legionaries, comparable to the modern squad, known as an octet.

 ALEXANDER E. RONNETT, FAUST BRADESCU: The Legionary Movement in Romania
It is because the Legionary spirit persists, invisible but tenacious, anchored in the depths of the Romanian soul as the only salvation for the nation, and perhaps for the world, which sees and feels itself carried towards the abyss.
For the Legionary Movement, the essential problem was not the presence or absence of General Antonescu at the head of the government.
The General was sure that between the Legionary Movement (a nationalistic movement entirely politically independent with regard to Hitlerian doctrine and goals) and him (as head of the government and "commander' of the armed forces), the Germans would support the one who had direct hold on the fighting forces.

 Legionary Weapons and Equipment
On the march the Legionary could carry between three and fourteen day's worth of rations, a saw, a wicker basket, a piece of rope or leather, a shovel, a waterskin, a sickle and a pickaxe.

The equipment to the legionaries was remarkably uniform throughout the empire and it is possible that there were large centres in Gaul and North Italy for the mass manufacture of helmets, armour and weapons.

To my mind, this piece of work is an example of musical existentialism, with its study of a human in a boundary state.
The CD is not just a story of a legion, the tracks go in chronological order though (Legionary, 4 or 5 Dead, Battalion, War zone, Attack to Penza), but of any person pulled out of peaceful life.
Many of these people "went down to fetch some coal and appeared in boots", without a clue what for and for who, as war takes people into the streets out of their beds and clashes them against each other.

 Roman Army Part I
The legion was the basic unit of Rome's standing army of career soldiers, the legionaries, who were all Roman citizens and fought primarily as foot-soldiers (infantry).
The most important standard in each legion was the legionary eagle (also visible in this relief), made of a precious metal (usually silver) and symbol of the power of Rome and the honor of the legion.
To lose the legionary eagle in battle was a terrible disgrace, and leaders like Augustus who succeeded in recovering captured legionary eagles capitalized on the propaganda value of the event (for example, Augustus depicted the surrender of the eagle that had been captured by the Parthians on the
