Roman soldiers, like legionaries or centurions, were exceptionally well-trained for battle.

Pro claim 1

Legionaries were Rome's top soldiers: only the fittest men were selected. They could walk 40km a day carrying up to 45 kg of equipment.

Con claim 1

Not all Roman soldiers were well-trained. The 'Velites' were inexperienced soldiers who were put on the front lines to face the enemy first.
