Their military strength was maily attributed to their organization and discipline. They have adopted, discarded and reformed several military strategies and practices as they faced different enemies and developed as an empire.
The Roman Military Systems
The Manipular System and The Cohort System
As Rome continued to conquer, they adopted two military systems; the manipular system and the cohort system. The Manpular System was first introduced as Rome had trouble manuevering in hilly and mountainous terrains. The manupular system gave them a felxiable army that can operate well. The Cohort System was later used when the Romans started to fight bigger enemies and needed a way to create an organized and professional army.
The Roman Military Reforms
The Marian, Augustan and Diocletian Reforms
In order to make the Roman Military organized the Marian, Augustan and Deocletian reforms were made. The Marian Reforms was what gave birth to the cohort system.
