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.
