II/10 CAMILLAN ROMAN 400 BC - 275 BC

This list covers Roman armies from the reforms of Camillus until the changes made after narrowly defeating the 280 BC invasion of Pyrrhos of Epeiros in aid of the Italiot Greek states. During this period, Rome had stubbornly mastered Italy. Her armies were still citizen levies, but were increasingly kept in the field for long periods and paid while in service. Cavalry fought with spears and small round shields. Each legion usually had shieldless leves skirmishing in front with javelins, followed by hastati with pila, sword and scutum, then by principes with long spear, sword & scutum, and finally by a reserve of veteran triarii armed like the principes. Latin and Campanian allies were now identical to and so included with the Romans. Unassimilated Italian allies should be depicted as Oscans (see II/8).
