  Marian reforms - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Marian reforms of 107 BC were a group of military reforms initiated by Gaius Marius, a statesman and general of the Roman republic.
The foremost of the Marian reforms was the inclusion of Roman landless mass, the "capite censi" or "head count", among the ranks of those who could be recruited.
One aspect of the Marian reforms that became apparent with the benefit of hindsight was that the loyalty of the legions tended to shift away from the Roman state, i.e.

The Marian reforms of 107 BC were a group of reforms proposed by a Roman republic statesman and army general named Gaius Marius.
Before the Marian reforms, many men who wanted to join the Roman army were unable to do so due to land ownership prerequisites, which in turn limited the size of the Roman army.
These reforms were instrumental in the growth and success of the Roman military machine and in consequence, the continued success of the Roman Empire, but plebs grew in importance and demanded representation in the Senate, so it was an important step to the Roman Republican civil wars.

 Military establishment of the Roman Republic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
To serve in the armies of Rome, one had to purchase one's own equipment, and soldiers were sorted into different classes according to wealth, with Velites comprising the lowest class and Equites(light cavalry) making up one of the highest classes, due to the cost of raising and maintaining a horse.
A standard Republican legion before the reforms of Marius (“the early Republic”) contained about 4500 men divided into the velites, the principes, and the hastati — of 1200 men each — also the triarii, of 600 men, and the equites, of 300 men.
The reforms also meant that legions were now more-or-less permanent formations, not just temporary armies deployed according to need (the Latin word 'legio' is actually their word for 'levy').

 Roman legion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The size of a typical legion varied widely throughout the history of ancient Rome, with complements ranging from 5000-6000 men in the republican period of Rome, to the fairly standard number of around 5,400 in the early and middle imperial period and finally to on average 1000-2000 men in the very late imperial period.
Following the Marian reforms of the 2nd century BC, the legions took on the second, narrower meaning that is familiar in the popular imagination as close-order citizen heavy infantry.
At the end of the 2nd century BC Marius reformed the previously ephemeral legions as a professional force drawing from the poorest classes, enabling Rome to field larger armies and providing employment for jobless citizens of the city of Rome.

Additional forces could be drafted under ad hoc commanders termed proconsules, who served "in place of consuls." In the later republic, the relatively small number of legions commanded by the consuls (2-4) resulted in their power being overshadowed by the proconsuls, the provincial governors.
A standard Republican legion before the reforms of Marius (the early Republic) contained about 5000 men divided into the velites, the principes, and the hastati, of 1200 men each, the triarii, of 600 men, and the equites, of 800 men.
This is what made the civil wars possible, and it is why scholars often cite the Marian Reforms as the beginning of the end for the Roman Republic.

There are several reforms in military practice and procedure which have been attributed to Marius.
Many of these reforms were not immediate changes that can be pinned to a single date, but rather processes set into motion by Marius' predecessors which came to fruition when Marius implemented the changes within his army.
Marius' two major reforms which can be classified as such processes were the structural changes made to the cohorts and the change in the land requirement previously necessary for service.

 Thinking of the Laity in Late Tudor England Anglican Theological Review - Find Articles
The instability of Elizabeth's settlement was felt among the laity also and contributed to the uneven appropriation of reform where many commoners entertained the unexpressed hope for a return to the settled patterns of Catholicism.
In the history of the early modern period, the "human interest" dimension is often overlooked, giving a sense that the Reformation in England was the exclusive domain of the monarchy, or the ecclesiastical and academic elite.
Kaufman's work demonstrates that the laity (so-called) lived out their lives not in a social or theological shadow, but as men and women who grappled with the implications of a new gospel (as it were) and a newfound independence from traditional ecclesiastical authority.
