I wonder the Roman army was divided into two separate groups called legionaries and auxiliaries. A Roman legionary was a soldier who was a Roman citizen younger than 45 in altar to be a legion air. The soldier had to have Roman citizenship. Legionaries were well armed and well trained fighting soldiers.
The auxiliaries of the Roman army was a lower class of the Roman army and they were non-roman citizens. Usually auxiliaries were recruited from tribes and towns that had been conquered by the Roman Empire Roman auxiliaries were paid much less than the legionaries and had to serve for longer.
