Warriors, or soldiers in ancient Rome were originally from the upper classes, such as the Patricians, because they had to arm and equip themselves and that was costly.

The flag used in Rome came into existence in medieval times. The ancient Romans did not use a national flag. The only "flags" that they used were the cavalry "vexillum" or a "signum" used by the military. It is said that in the very early days of the city, a red flag was raised over the Capitol when an enemy force was sighted. It was a signal for the citizen soldiers to arm themselves and assemble.
Up to 107 BC the Roman army was a citizen militia of peasant-proprietors. The soldiers were drafted by the state and there was a property threshold for the draft. This was because the soldiers had to provide and pay for their military equipment themselves. They did so out of their income from their farming activities. The landless poor were not drafted. The Marian reforms of the army of 107 BC abolished the property threshold and made joining the army voluntary. They also introduced standard military equipment and made the state pay for it. Therefore, the state procured the military gear for the soldiers.
