[QUOTE="Alaric_Prympax, post: 255451, member: 176"] IIRC in order to join a [i]legion[/i] you had to be a citizen and at the end of your 20 years (16 if in the Praetorian Guard) you received a land grant somewhere in the empire. Furthermore the Primus Pilus (First Pilum: the highest ranking centurion or the segeant major of the legion) was granted status in the Equestrian class which allowed their children to get involved in higher political office. Certain offices could only be held by Equestrians, the most prominate being the "Legatus of AEgyptus" which in Augustus' time was considered to be his personal property and thus the governor of Egypt did not have to be a member of the Senatorial Class (a former Consul- a Proconsul or Praetor- a Propraetor) but this is getting off topic. I'm a little behind in my reading- sorry group. :( I got a lot of d20 books over the past 3 weeks and I'm trying to read too may things at once while working on my own campaign and real life, but you'll know how that can get in the way of a good game. If a noncitizen join the [i]auxilairies[/i]- at the end of their service of 25 years they received citizenship and a land grant (not sure about the land though). It's been 10 years since I studied any of these details, I'm sorry if I got any of them wrong. [/QUOTE]
