Before 107 BC, you needed money to join the Roman army. Gaius Marius changed everything. The poor could now serve, but the price was brutal. 30 kilograms on your back, 37 kilometers a day, and a full camp built every single night. No army in the world moved faster. They were called Marius' Mules. The legionaries everyone knows from the history books? That's who they were. #romanhistory #romanlegions #ancientrome #historyfacts #forgottenhistory #educational #education
