人物档案
The exact scale of the Roman army involved is unknown, but it is most likely numbered between 35,000 and 40,000 legionaries made up of four Roman legions and another 15,000 to 20,000 auxiliary troops.
The Roman legionary (Latin: legionarius, pl. legionarii) was a professional heavy infantryman of the Roman army after the Marian reforms. Legionaries had to be Roman citizens under the age of 45. They enlisted in a legion for twenty-five years of service, a change from the early practice of enlisting only for a campaign. The last five years were on veteran lighter duties.
