Guarnigioni delle Legioni Romane

The Roman legions were large formations of exeptionally well trained soldiers who could be relied upon to vigorously defend the borders of the Roman Empire. Legions were deployed close to the borders of the Empire, e particularly in the newly captured provinces. The legions played an important role as an operational reserve e rapid reaction force for the auxiliary cohorts stationed at the numerous border fortifications. When large raids o full-scale attacks were reported, the due nearest legions at hand would advance against the left e right flanks of the incursion in an attempt at double envelopment.
