History - The Romans - The Training of a Roman Soldier
The period with which we’re going to deal is that of the Empire, which came about in 27 B.C.E. Prior to that, during the Republic, every man between the ages of 17 and 45 was expected to serve in the army for the defense of Rome, when necessary. He had to supply himself with all his own weapons and armour, but with the coming of the Empire, all this ceased.
The Roman soldier became a salaried professional, and the training of a Roman soldier became a very serious business.
The historian, Peter Heather tells us that; “The training was like the Marines, only much nastier!”
A Roman legion was divided into 10 cohorts, (battalions), 30 maniples, (companies), and 60 centuries, (platoons). A legion was between 5000-6000 men.
Before they even touched a weapon, trainees first had to learn to march. Perhaps more accurately, to keep formation. Ranks with the discipline to keep formation were seldom defeated, so the thinking went, and if we study their battles, the thinking was absolutely correct.
Next came practice in running, leaping ditches and climbing over difficult objects. Swimming, too, was an essential part of their training. Not only them, but the cavalry, horses and even servants had to learn as well.
Then came sword practice with wooden swords, which were twice the weight of the real ones. We saw the Normans doing exactly the same thing. Not only does this strengthen the arm, but it makes you a great deal faster with the real weapon in battle. Practice with the shield came next.
After that, the use of them both together. They had to learn to keep themselves completely covered with their shields, and to stab with their swords, not slash. Slashing would seldom kill anyone and in the excitement of battle, when you were in mid-slash, you would most likely leave your flank exposed.
Next came the bow, sling and javelin. Again, the practice javelins were twice the weight of the real ones. In full battle order, a soldier would carry about five javelins in the hollow of his shield.
In fact, as far as the bow was concerned, only about one third to one quarter of the youngest and fittest were trained with this weapon.
All soldiers were trained in vaulting over wooden horses. First, they’d train without armour and then practice while wearing it. Once the soldier had been taught to march in formation, the next stage was route marches, fully armoured and armed.
The armour and accouterments would weigh in the region of 40 lbs, while he’d have to carry about another 35 lbs. of gear. Flavius Josephus, writing in the 1st. century, C.E., tells us..
“They carry a saw, a basket, a pick and an axe, as well as a leather strap, a sickle, a chain, and enough rations for three days.”
As well as this was his cloak and blanket.
The method of carrying these was on a ‘T’ pole, a wooden pole about 4 feet long, with a shorter piece fixed securely and at right angles to one end. On this would be tied or hung everything that the legionary required. (continue)

How to Write a Great Ghost Story
Why do some ghost stories keep you up all night, staring at your closet and checking under your bed?
Why do other ghost stories produce giggles or complete boredom?
Here are thoughts on what makes the PERFECT ghost story.
1) Atmosphere
There is no ghost story worth one goose bump without atmosphere. Readers need to be gradually removed from their cozy surroundings and brought into the spooky world of the ghost. The author should involve all the senses including sight, smell, sound and touch. A skilled author can evoke other ’senses’ such as premonition or ‘women’s intuition’. The ghost story requires the reader to be shown the atmosphere, not told. Out of all the elements that create a great ghost story, the atmosphere is probably the most important.
Where should a ghost story take place? A ghost story doesn’t have to happen in a decrepit mansion or a graveyard. Expert ghost authors such as Ambrose Bierce or Peter Straub use various settings for their ghost stories including cabins in the woods, or a coffee shop. It is how the authors use the settings to produce the willies that matter.
2) Emotion
You can’t have a scary read without the characters feeling escalating levels of fright. The reader will identify with the gradual feeling of dread and begin to feel the same. The best stories creep up on the reader with gentle nudges into fear. Today’s reader will either laugh or fall asleep if presented with a bludgeoning approach to a ghost story. The reader requires a modicum of belief to be truly scared.
3)Plot
A ghost story needs a plot. The reader craves a reason to continue to peruse the pages. An eye-catching beginning, a breathless middle, and a satisfying ending are paramount.
Be original. Nothing will loose the interest of a reader more than a rehashed plot. If I read another story about a group of teenagers abandoned in an old house in the rain, I will wear a dress. And that will be sure to make the neighbors scream!
Create a mystery. All great ghost stories have a mystery behind them. The reader becomes involved with the characters in solving the story behind the haunting. Don’t present a ghost without a background. Remember the ghost is the primary character of the ghost story, and needs to be a living part of the story. Not exactly living, however…
So get your quills out, draw the curtains, light your candle and begin to write your ghost story…I dare you! (continue)
