The Roman soldier's weapons

According to Ephesians 6:11-18

A legionnaire in the Roman army is a Roman citizen with full military equipment. If his equipment is incomplete, he is a velite. The Roman army was renowned for its discipline and tenacity, which were largely achieved through rewards, but also through sometimes severe punishments. Renewed training with each annual conscription ensures a sound military education. These qualities enabled Roman soldiers to conquer the Mediterranean world.
