the Secret of Roman Warfare. A Roman legion was the largest unit of the Roman army, consisting of centuries as the basic units. For most of the Roman Imperial period, the legions formed the Roman army's elite heavy infantry, recruited exclusively from Roman citizens, while the remainder of the army consisted of auxiliaries, who provided additional infantry and the vast majority of the Roman army's cavalry. A legion consisted of several cohorts of heavy infantry known as legionaries. It was almost always accompanied by one or more attached units of auxiliaries, who were not Roman citizens and provided cavalry, ranged troops and skirmishers to complement the legion's heavy infantry. From the time of Gaius Marius onwards, legionaries received 225 denarii a year; this basic rate remained unchanged until Domitian, who increased it to 300 denarii. The soldiers did not receive all the money in cash, as the state deducted a clothing and food tax from their pay. To this wage, a legionary on active campaign would hope to add the booty of war. Slaves could also be claimed from the prisoners of war and divided amongst the legion for later sale, which would bring in a sizeable supplement to their regular pay. All legionary soldiers would also receive a praemia on the completion of their term of service: a sizeable sum of money and/or a plot of good farmland; farmland given to veterans often helped in establishing control of the frontier regions and over rebellious provinces.

Hi there and welcome to my channel! On this list we will talk about the 10 most effective weapon based martial arts in my humble opinion, but feel free to tell me what you think, your own list or if you think I've missed any in the comments below and thank you so much for watching! Here are some links to some of the video footage I've used and I'll be updating this list every so often whenever I find the original videos as originally I made this video a long time ago. Have fun and go check the original full videos out! Link to the Iaido section https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SEtgcNcHyA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZubkBOUlZlQ More links to come! Work in progress :D The words "martial arts" have become associated more and more with the fighting disciplines of eastern Asia, but it originally referred to the European combat systems since the 1550s. The term comes from the Latin language, and means "arts of Mars"; Mars was the god of war in the Roman pantheon. Some authors argue that other terms like fighting arts or fighting systems would be more appropriate because some martial arts were never really "martial", meaning that they were never used or created by professional warriors. Training in martial arts can have several benefits to trainees, such as improving their physical, mental, and emotional health. Some of the traditional martial concepts have been used in new ways in modern military training. Maybe the most recent example that comes in mind of this is point shooting which relies on muscle memory to utilize firearms in a more efficient way in a wild array of difefrent situations, almost the same way as an iaidoka would master movements with their sword. Many different martial arts are even used in Law Enforcement for hand to hand combat training. For example, the Tokyo Riot Police's use of aikido.
