	ROMAN MILITARY GLOSSARY
		In a second-century census of the Roman military, the alae quingenariae outnumbered the alae millariae by ninety units to ten.
		Within a Roman military camp, this was where the camp commander would stand to address his men, issue orders, hear complaints, conduct court-martial proceedings, also to perform the necessary military ceremonial and religious duties.
		hospital The hospital in a Roman camp was placed by Hyginus in the praetentura alongside the Scholae and the veterinarium, though in many forts the valetudinarium occurs in the latera praetorii alongside the granaries and the principia in the centre of the camp.

	Military history of the Roman Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The core of the military history of the Roman Empire is the account of its great land battles, from the conquest of Italy to its final battles against the Huns.
		All in all the Roman army consisted of 18 centuries of equites, 82 centuries of the first class (of which 2 centuries were engineers), 20 centuries each of the second, third and fourth classes and 32 centuries of the fifth class (of which 2 centuries were trumpeters).
		Eventually, the dynastic structure of the imperial office returned due to the centralization of loyalty and control of the military once more, and then collapsed once again for the same reasons as before, leading to the destruction of the Western Half of the Empire.

	"The Jewish community at Dura-Europos: portrait of a people," by Mary Stephanos
		Roman Empire in which each city was administered in much the same fashion as the next, with little room for innovation or for the expression of local character.
		Though Greek continued as the common language of the city's residents (including the Roman soldiers, one should point out), Latin was the official language of the Roman military, and learning Latin was an absolute necessity for entrance into the imperial civic structure.
		Indeed, despite the fact that the Roman forces utilized at Dura were mainly of Syrian background, the close cultural and political relationship of these soldiers to the empire's center at Rome kept them apart from the city's Syrian civilian populace.

	A Roman Education
		They were, in fact, only for male offspring of patrician families that were temporarily short of funds or for male students, of whatever class, who might have upper class sponsorship.

		The invention of the military staff may be compared in importance with the rise of the administrative mechanisms of the state that appeared at the same time.
		The command structure was almost fully articulated, and the appearance of titles for police patrols, district officers, and military judges suggested the presence of a military police force to keep order and discipline in the army.
		For the first time there is evidence of a military intelligence service, reflected in the title, "master of the secrets of the king in the army." The regular presence of scribes suggested that much of the administrative routine may have been committed to permanent record.

		The Romans built, and maintained, perhaps the greatest empire of all time--forged with an unequaled skill in warfare and a willingness to commit savagery in the name of victory.

		It shows the origination of the Roman Military System, the development to its peak in the late republic- early empire period, and the decline of the Roman military along with the Empire.

	The Roman Army Page
		These men were partly directly recruited from the Roman knights or the city councilmembers, but the greater part of the centurions had previously served as soldiers and NCO's in the legions or the praetorian cohorts.
		With the spread of Roman citizenship among the population of the conquered territories the auxilia were increasingly recruiting citizens into the ranks, blurring the original division between peregrine auxiliaries and citizen legionaries.
		Redeployment of units and the Roman practice of local recruitment of replacements meant that the ethnic titles borne by formations did not reflect the actual origins of its soldiers.

	Roman Emperors - DIR Firmus
		These are the development of Christianity as the predominant religion of the Roman state, and the impact of Roman rule in the provinces Augustine's brief mention of Firmus offers a glimpse of the religious unrest in Africa during this period.
		An examination of Firmus' family and their position within the Roman social, political, and military structure reveals that the line between "barbarian" and "Roman" was a thin one indeed.
		A distrust on the part of the provincials towards the imperial government, military leaders such as Romanus enriching themselves, and political dissension all seem to point to the fact that imperial rule in Africa was beginning to crumble.
