The term "Imperial Legions" refers to the military units of the Roman Empire that were responsible for defending its vast territories and enforcing its authority. Each legion typically consisted of around 5,000 soldiers, primarily Roman citizens, and was organized into smaller units called cohorts. These legions were known for their discipline, training, and effectiveness in battle. Imperial Legions played a crucial role in the expansion and maintenance of the Roman Empire. They participated in various military campaigns, helped establish Roman law in conquered regions, and contributed to the construction of infrastructure, such as roads and fortifications, which facilitated trade and communication across the empire.
