In the early republic,the roman army was on the Tullian system of 5 classes. The first class of soldiers were hoplites.Class 2 were spearmen.Class 3 were light spearmen.Class 4 were skirmishers.Class 5 was capite censi.Then after the battle of allia in 390BC and rome's sacking in 390BC, rome swiched to the Camillan system.The first battle line were the hastati.The second battle line was the principes.The 3rd line was the cream of the legion,the triarii.Then were the roriarii who were reserves.Then were the last line, the accensi, who were the poorest and had no armor.Wars against jugurtha, a african ruler, caused the marian reforms in 107BC. Now there was Legionnaires and Auxiliaries.This stayed the same throughout the period of the empire until diocletian reformed the army again in 284AD.This was the last reform because rome fell in 476AD and the army was dissintegrated by 450AD
