The common soldier, or miles gregarius, was first a fighter. He had his periodic training. However, as the Roman Empire was not constantly at war, he was assigned many other duties, most of them consisting of digging and building. It was the legionary who built the roads, bridges and aqueducts. They also acted as police for conquered towns.
