Being a soldier in the Roman army almost had to be a career because of the length of time of enlistments. During the empire, that is at the time of Augustus, the term of service was twenty years with five more years added as a reserve.

If the legion were severely undermanned or there was a war, or if they were on the frontiers, the discharges did not come through.
