“Legion,” now at the British Museum, is a superb exploration of the men, women, children and slaves who were part of Rome’s military machine. Do you think the #Roman military was the mightiest in history? #theromans #Romanarmy #Romanmilitary #Romanexhibition #britishmuseum

Roman military life exhibition at the #BritishMuseum. I found it to be incredible; well worth a visit! "Few men are born brave; many become so from care and force of discipline." - Vegetius, Fourth-century #Roman writer #Romanempire #Romanhistory #londonguide #Romanarmy

A #Roman tombstone dedicated to a soldier named Gaius Saufeius, who died at the age of 40 after 22 years in the #RomanArmy with the 9th Legion. He was originally from Heraclea (Macedonia) but died in Lincoln (Britain), probably in the first decades after the conquest of Britain.

The 3rd and final episode of our miniseries! 🗡️ Septimius Severus gets a 👍🏽 and the ladies get a well deserved shout-out. 📸 Us at the @britishmuseum exhibition "Legion: life in the Roman army". #romanarmy #militaryhistory #classicstwitter #ancientrome #imperialrome #sensory

@shrimperjon Enioy! Really wish I was there. Ewan Clark and Cody Cooke are the danger men for Bath #RomanArmy

The #Germans were led by #Arminius, also known as Hermann. Arminius had served in the #RomanArmy and knew their #tactics well. Though the mask was likely used for parades rather than battle, it is a unique survivor that gives us a look into #antiquity.

Welcome to episode 2 of our Roman army miniseries! 🗡️ Tent flaps, citizenship diplomas & tweezers disguised as a brooch... 📸 Us at the @britishmuseum exhibition "Legion: life in the Roman army". #romanarmy #militaryhistory #classicstwitter #ancientrome #imperialrome #sensory

“To spare the humbled, and humble the proud” (Parcere subiectis et debellare superbos, Aeneid 6.853) Do you prefer left or right? I made right first but I think left has grown on me #romanArmy #roman #military

Roman nailed shoe soles made of leather. These are on display in the Kastell Saalburg fort north of Frankfurt, Germany which is now a UNESCO world heritage site. #shoe #germany #deutschland #archaeology #zapato #romanarmy #legion #army #unesco

Thought-provoking exhibition on the #archaeology of the #Romanarmy at the @britishmuseum. Great objects on show but I think a lot of aspects are overlooked.

The tombstone of a #Roman named Quintus Petilius Secundus, alongside a modern colourised replica (showing how eye-catching these stones originally were!) He died at the age of 25 after 5 years in the #RomanArmy, & is depicted on the stone with some of his weapons (but no armour)
