STORY

As a citizen of the Roman Empire, you are one of the elite in the world’s most advanced society. Your standard of living far exceeds what the savages to the north can expect. With a democracy and a military to be reckoned with, the Romans are the most powerful force in the world.

You serve Rome as a professional heavy infantryman of the Roman Army: a Roman Legionary. You enlisted in your legion almost twenty-three years ago, and you are both relieved and anxious to know you have only a few years left. After twenty-five years, you will finally be granted your praemia of 5000 denarii and a plot of land to begin your farm.

It will be the beginning of a new life for your family.

As you double-check that your military-issued Roman Sword and dagger are securely in their holders, you feel prepared alongside your fellow soldiers to go into battle. You just hope that your intensive training will continue to serve you well. At the very least, you have confidence in the sharpness of your weapon.

INSPIRATION

The Ancient Universe is inspired by ancient cultures, including Ancient Rome and Greece. A Roman Legionnaire would be issued a standard set of armour, weapons, and tools on his march into enemy territory. Ancient gear is inspired by this list of tools and reports of what a typical soldier might wear during times of war.

A legionary would be expected to carry his lorica segmentata, shield, helmet, two javelins, a short sword, a dagger, a pair of heavy sandals, a marching pack, about 14 days worth of food, a waterskin, cooking equipment, two stakes, and a shovel. That’s a lot of equipment for someone to carry for miles and miles of travel! Because of this, many Ancient Universe products are especially durable.

 

It would be especially bad form to travel all the way to far off lands, only to have your armour fall apart when you get there!
