Regarding Roman soldiers, the Jewish historian Josephus wrote: “Every soldier is every day exercised, and that with great diligence, as if it were in time of war which is the reason why they bear the fatigue of battles so easily. ”
Juudi ajaloolane Josephus kirjutas Rooma sõdurite kohta: „Iga sõdur treenib iga päev ja ta teeb seda väga hoolsalt, otsekui oleks sõjaolukord – seepärast nad saavadki lahinguväsimusest nii kergesti üle. ”
