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.
