Ancient Rome: Beginning With The Legionnaire

$€!

Drusus, one of the five tribunes of Rome, was assassinated.

And the murderer who assassinated him was also caught.

It was the former Consul Didius.

Although he is a Roman senator, killing the tribune will also be punished accordingly.

But the Kota family quickly got busy tonight.

All the troops and mercenaries brought by Brian from Iberia were required to be rectified immediately tonight, packed up, and set off early tomorrow morning to return to Iberia.

"Brian, have you really decided to leave here tomorrow morning? You and Phil's wedding hasn't happened yet?"

Lucius is doing the final work.

Before the wedding, the two families had already settled down, but Brian just walked away like this.

"Old man, you should also know, what will happen next? 22°

Brian, who had just taken a shower, said while getting dressed.

"You and I know what you mean! After the death of Drusus, the Italians will definitely not give up! But you can't leave in such a hurry!"

Lucius, like most senators, still clings to the final fantasy.

As long as you bite the bullet and don't grant citizenship to the Italians, they won't make any big waves.

But Brian is different, he is a time traveler, he knows what will happen next.

After the death of Drusus, the massive Confederate War broke out.

"I know I will be sorry for Phil, so I will take her and leave with me!"

Brian got dressed and said.

Roman law expressly stipulates that women are not allowed to appear in the army, but the head of the legion has privileges.

Just like Marc Anthony, his passion has always been for women to stay by his side.

Even in the legion, there must be 4~6 women to follow all year round.

Soon Lucius in military uniform came in from the outside.

"Master Legion, all your orders have been issued, and all soldiers will gather tomorrow morning!"

Brian nodded.

"Then what about the Red Earl's Mercenary Group?"

Brian returned to Rome, not only leading a procession.

And also brought a mercenary group of 600 people.

Now these mercenary regiments are broken up into pieces, lurking in the city of Rome.

"The Red Earl's staff is relatively large and loose, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to notify you tonight!"

After all, the opponent is a mercenary, so don't ask too much of them.

"However, the Red Earl said that tomorrow morning, she will lead her subordinates to return to Iberia with the Commander-in-Chief!"

That's about the same.

"Okay, you go back first, rest early, we are leaving early tomorrow morning!"

"It's the legion commander!"

Lucius made a standard military salute and left.

"That fellow is all right, but he's a Marcie!"

After Lucius left, Lucius said lightly.

Brian nodded.

That's why Brian had to go back to Iberia.

Rome had 30 legions.

In each legion, Italians accounted for more than 60%.

Yes, you heard that right.

According to Roman law, Italians must perform military service, but they do not have corresponding citizenship rights.

Unless one has outstanding military exploits and performance in the army, it is possible to obtain citizenship or even a noble title.

"Yes! Including him [at least 70% of my regiment is Italian!]

Some time ago, the 13th Legion suffered a lot in battle, and many Italians were temporarily recruited.

Now the proportion of Italians leading the entire legion has reached 70%.

If this group of people is not taken care of, it will be difficult to command this legion once the Allied War breaks out.

"That is indeed a problem!"

Lucius instantly realized the seriousness of the problem.

Once the war breaks out, it will be difficult for these legions mainly composed of Italians to exert their due strength.

"Then what are you going to do?!"

Thinking of this problem, Lucius has no good way to deal with it.

Although he is old and mature, he has no experience in leading the army.

"The only thing left to do now is to promise them Roman citizenship!"

Brian shrugged and said nonchalantly.

The Confederate War that broke out after 400 was extremely massive. Even a generation of famous generals Marius and Sulla were jointly strangled, but they were all suppressed by Babius.

"What? You want to give Roman citizenship to your soldiers, you are crazy!"

Lucius' jaw almost didn't drop from Brian's surprise.

This is something that has never happened before.

"Can you say that again?!"

"I want to give Roman citizenship to my soldiers?"

"You don't have the right either!"

"Not now, but there will be when the war breaks out!"

Brian shook his head, looking at his cheap father Lucius and said.

In the early days of the Allies, Marius and Sulla were always beaten by Babius.

But in the later period, the Roman Senate offered a killer move, that is, as long as you lay down your weapons, you will be granted Roman citizenship.

Just one move.

Those Italians had no motivation to continue to resist.

Therefore, it is a matter of time before the soldiers under his command are given citizenship rights.

Now it's better to take it out in advance to win people's hearts. .
