The Life Of A Roman Soldier....

Making life easy for your troops has some important disadvantages. Firstly, they get lazy. Secondly, they get bored. Thirdly, they begin to defend their materialistic pleasures rather than their nation.

 

Troops with time on their hands soon get drunk, rowdy, and violent to everyone around them. This is why the romans went to so much trouble arranging fatigues, duties, practises, and engineering projects. There is some evidence that portions of Hadrians Wall were plastered and painted. Now thats the military. Get them out in the freezing cold of northern england, I want that wall smooth as a babies bottom and so white the picts get blinded. No excuses legionary!
