¿Didn't you know? Have you ever wondered ¿What were the requirements to join the Roman Legions? Without a doubt, something that is very surprising about Ancient Rome was its military power, they were so strong in the fight, that they dominated large areas of the world. However, not everyone could join, what was needed to enlist?. - To be a Roman Citizen or a "Free" Foreigner, slaves were forbidden to join. - To be tall, at that time if you were over 1.70 m tall then you were considered tall, however, exceptions were made if your physical build was frightening. - Being single, you could not have families, children, or girlfriends, however, if you arrived in distant lands nothing prevented you from keeping some fleeting love. - To be in good physical shape, it should be noted that this did not mean that you were a muscular man, but that you had all your fingers, if, by chance you were missing a finger, you were automatically forbidden to enlist because you were considered "crippled". Funny thing isn't it. If you had lived in this era, would you have enlisted in the legions?. - Design created in Canva.com - #History #Curiosities
