   Military Structure
   The backbone of the Empire was the Roman Army. In the Principate, the army consisted primarily of legions (heavy infantry, exclusively Roman citizens) and auxiliary units (light infantry, cavalry, specialized troops recruited from provincials). Upon honorable discharge after 25 years of service, legionaries were typically granted Roman citizenship and land grants.
   The structure of the legion was based on the cohort, with ten cohorts forming one legion ($\text{Legion} = 10 \times \text{Cohort}$).
