Roman Legionaries - TOP TIER SUFFERING
The sweet joy of being a Roman legionary, where a day's work could mean building fortresses or facing brutal punishment.
It was a formidable force, not just because of its tactical prowess or superior equipment, but also due to its unyielding discipline.
This discipline, however, came at a steep human cost.
Decimation, was one of the most feared punishments. When decimation was ordered, soldiers were divided into groups of ten; each drew lots, and the unlucky one – marked by fate – was beaten or stoned to death by his nine comrades.
But let's not gloss over the details. An officer may order decimation when a unit was deemed cowardly or ineffective.
It wasn't just a punishment; it was a psychological weapon, instilling a palpable fear not just of the enemy, but of one's own brothers-in-arms – men who lived, fought, ate, bled and wept together, practically family by the end of their military careers.
