Intro The Roman army (Latin: exercitus Romanus) was the armed forces deployed by the Romans throughout the duration of Ancient Rome, from the Roman Kingdom (753 BC–509 BC) to the Roman Republic (509 BC–27 BC) and the Roman Empire (27 BC–476 AD), and its medieval continuation, the Eastern Roman Empire. It is thus a term that may span approximately 2,206 years (753 BC–1453 AD), during which the Roman armed forces underwent numerous permutations in size, composition, organisation, equipment and tactics, while conserving a core of lasting traditions.[1][2][3] Exercitus Romanus Vexillum with the imperial aquila Active 753 BC – 1453 AD Country Roman Kingdom Roman Republic Roman Empire Western Roman Empire Byzantine Empire Size 28–50 legions Headquarters Aquincum Bonn Lauriacum Isca Augusta Alexandria Singara Regensburg Novae Busra Motto(s) 'Gloria Exercitus' Engagements Roman–Gallic wars Samnite Wars Pyrrhic War Punic War Macedonian Wars Jugurthine War Mithridatic War Gallic Wars Roman civil wars Roman invasion of Britain Roman–Germanic wars Domitian's Dacian War Trajan's Dacian Wars Roman–Parthian War of 58–63 Jewish–Roman wars The Great Illyrian Revolt Commanders Commander-in-chief Emperor (de facto; 27 BC–1453 AD) Consuls (de jure; 27 BC–887 AD, 509 BC–27 BC) King (753 BC–509 BC) Notable commanders Marcus Furius Camillus Scipio Africanus Gaius Marius Julius Caesar Germanicus Flavius Stilicho Flavius Belisarius Coin showing (obverse) head of the late Roman emperor Julian (ruled 361–363 AD) wearing diadem and (reverse) soldier bearing standard holding kneeling barbarian captive by the hair, legend and Myth VIRTUS EXERCITUS ROMANORUM ('Valour of Roman army').
