+Troop types and equipment:

--Velite:
~~~Gladius->Based on swords the Romans faced in Iberia against it's tribes,not very useful in the hands of a Velite.
~~~Verutum/Uerutum->Javelin meant to be thrown before engagements at the enemy frontline.Early Velites carrier a lot of these.
~~~Plumbata->Throwable darts that were thrown once the fighting started,when the Velites retreated behind the main line.Meant to harass more than to kill.

--Hastati:
~~~Gladius->Main weapon of the frontline,more useful when used by someone trained to use it.
~~~Pila->Javelin thrown before combat.Hastatis and Principes held 2 or 3 of these.

--Principe:
~~~Gladius->Same weapon,but deadlier in the hands of a veteran.
~~~Pila->A bit more range than a Hastati's pila,after all Principes are usually veterans.

--Triarii:
~~~Hasta->Very long spear (2 metres) that could be used against cavalry and infantry alike.
~~~Gladius->This time it's a secondary,used after the hasta breaks,or when combat is too close for comfort.


*Explanation on manipular legions->Early Roman legions were organised by maniples.They had 4 lines of combat,Velites (Which were skirmishers that harassed the enemy before combat,and retreate behind the first line to continue during the fact;they weren't meant to fight with swords.They were drawn from the lower levels of the Roman society,and thus couldn'f afford armor),Hastati (Light infantry that was meant to absorbe the first blow of the fight,and soften the enemy for the second line.They were citiciens with more money/land,and thus could afford better armor and equipment),Principes (Heavy infantry that occupied the first line after the Hastati softened the enemy,they were usually older and more experienced.They usually had more money/properties than the Hastati,and thus had better armor),and Triarii (They were a mix between spearmen and heavy infantry which was mainly used at the end of battles to turn them,they were the elite of the elite in the legions,socially and militarily.Romans often said "It's come down to the triarii",which meant that something had been carried to the end or to extreme extents).
