The Roman soldier trained every day of his enlistment, at least technically. There were times when a man was excused due to other assigned duties or illness. To borrow an observation from the ancient writer Josephus, the Roman soldiers trained hard as if in a real battle so that when they went into real battle they acted as if they were in training.
With the creation of a standing professional army by the Marian reforms on 107 BC, the career of the Roman legionaries lasted 16 years. Augustus extended this to 20 years. Soldiers could also be recalled to serve 5 years as reservists. Many soldiers served for 30 to 40 years. The legionaries were Roman citizens. The Romans also had auxiliary troops. These were troops composed of non-Romans who were allies and supported the Roman legions. Their term of service was 25 years.

There were 800 soldiers in the first cohort of a Roman legion. The remaining nine cohorts had 480 men each.
At their base camp or fort, the Roman soldiers were trained daily. Please remember that the Romans did not have a week as we have. They measured their time in market day increments. These were blocks of eight days.
80 years
Doubtless many Roman soldiers were tortured to death when captured by enemies of rome.

The Roman armies were able to defeat and conquer so many people because they were better equipped, better trained, and better disciplined. They were simply better than their enemies.The Roman armies were able to defeat and conquer so many people because they were better equipped, better trained, and better disciplined.
