There were two types of swords: the gladium, which was short and the spatha, which was longer. The Roman infantrymen also had the hasta, a thrusting pear, and the pilum, a javelin. In the late empire, soldiers had six plumbatae, light weight darts made of led clipped to the back of the shield. The darts had a longer range than the javelin. There were also archers. The bow was composite, made of horn, wood, and sinew glued with hide glue and was called archus. The arrow (sagitta) was made of wood and had an iron head.
They carried javelins, swords, and daggers.
They used guns and bombs and weapons.
Roman weapons were used by the Roman army.
The Roman goddess Lua was the god that soldiers sacrificed the weapons they captured after fighting in battle. She might have just been an alternative name for Ops. She was a consort of Saturn.
The Roman soldiers were entitled to command a Jew to carry their pack for them - but they were only to carry it for one mile. After that, the soldier had to carry it himself or find another Jew to do so. Jesus was making the point that we should go further with serving others than just doing the bare minimum required under the law.
The soldiers carried a cooking pot with them on the march because they had to cook their own food. Unlike our modern armies, they had no mobile kitchens. Each man received his rations but it was his responsibility to prepare them.
They used guns and bombs and weapons.
The Roman army had to carry all of its gear wherever it went, so the soldier often had to carry very heavy packs, like a mule.
To build bridges, fortifications, weapons, boats etc.

What do the Roman Soldiers eat?
when soldiers went to sleep they needed the wood for fires and sharpening weapons so they needed an axe to help cut down the trees
By definition, fighting is what soldiers do.
All Roman soldiers were paid. They were professional soldiers.
The Roman charioteers did not carry weapons; they were racing drivers. The only weapon-like object they carried was a knife for cutting themselves free from the reigns to prevent being dragged by the horses if they had a spill. The Roman army did not use fighting chariots. Their mobile forces were on horseback--- the cavalry.The Roman charioteers did not carry weapons; they were racing drivers.

Yes, it seems as if the Roman soldiers got their equipment free. However he was responsible for his equipment and if it were lost or damaged he had to pay for the replacement or the repair. Of course he was not restricted to "government issue" swords or knives. He could purchase his own and many did. These privately owned weapons did not have to be turned in at the man's discharge.Yes, it seems as if the Roman soldiers got their equipment free.
