NEW RANKS

The basic structure of the army is as follows:

Contubernium: (tent group) consisted of 8 men.
Centuria: (century) was made up of 10 contubernium with a total of 80 men commanded by a centurion
Cohorts: (cohort) included 6 centuriae.
Legio: (Legion) consisted of 10 cohorts.

EACH CENTURY HAS:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MILITIA (TROOP)

RECRUITS:
Must learn what behavior is expected from them as members of the Legio, and get familiar with the equipment and weapons. They must learn and train in combat techniques.

MILITES (sing. MILES):
Legionaries serve not only as the heart of the legion's fighting force, they are also used for many building and construction projects. Roman roads-many of which are still in existance today-are an example of legionary engineering.
Must keep on training and improve their skills. Have the duty to attend at the events and serve ROMA until the death.

IMMUNES (sing. IMMUNIS) (5 of each):
Have the duty to teach the recruits how to behave in the Legio, how to fit their armor, and how to fight using the combat system. They are directly in charge of the new recruits and must be obeyed by by them at all times. They must correct the behavior of members who are ignoring or disobeying the conduct rules. They must report all incidents (good or bad) to the upper ranks. They monitor the progress of the recruits and their attendance at training sessions.

DECANUS (8):
Directly in command of the lower ranks (Much like a modern-day Sergeant). They issue orders on behalf of the Ceturio and Optio, and assist or lead training sessions and parade events. They must correct the behavior of members who are ignoring or disobeying the conduct rules, and apply discipline decided by higher ranking officers. They must make weekly reports to an Optio, or to an officer of superior rank. They monitor the leadership of the immunes to be sure they don't abuse their powers against the recruits.
On campaign he is in charge of getting the section's tent erected, along with the fortifications of the camp.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRINCIPALES (NON COMMISSIONED OFFICERS)

TESSERARIUS (1):
The first of the Principales ranks (non commissioned officers), the Tesserarius' primarily oversees the fatigue and guard duties for the Century.
They are assistants to the Optio. They have the responsibility of organizing guard duties for the lower ranks.

SIGNIFER (1):
Leads the parade with the standard of the Legio and is responsible for morale - he/she leads the war chants before battles. The Signifer must be present at every parade or event where the Legio is taking part.
On campaign he carried the Century's standard (signum) into battle. This was used not only as a rallying point, but also as a visual means of communication.
Because of his high level of responsibility, the Signifier is third-in-command of the Century.

OPTIONES (sing. OPTIO) (1):
(Like the modern-day 1st Sergeant)
He is personally chosen by the Centurion to serve as his deputy.
Issue orders on behalf of the Centurio and are obeyed by all the lower ranks. They report directly to a Centurio, assist the Centurio in his work, and share command of the Century. They are partly responsible for organizing and leading group events and training sessions. They carry out administrative duties under the order of the Praefectus. They are responsible for the distribution of uniforms, equipment and weapons.
In battle the Optio would either stand behind the formation and keep troops on line and in formation, or else he would stand on the extreme left, able to coordinate with adjacent units.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CENTURIONES (OFFICERS)

CENTURIONES (sing. CENTURIO) (1):
They have direct command of a Century of the Legio. They are responsible for organizing and leading group events, meetings and training sessions. They teach the troops how to fight as a coordinated group and lead parade drills (Latin commands must be learnt by all during training). They are responsible for the overseeing the conduct of lower ranks and promoting or demoting members. They must monitor the reports from lower ranks and decide punishments if necessary. They have to report their intentions or plans to the Primus Pilus or Praefecto. They issue orders on behalf of the Primus Pilus or Praefecto.

The Centurions are divided as follows:

Century I - Primus Pilus
Century II - Princeps
Century III - Hastatus
Century IV - Princeps Posterior
Century V - Hastatus Posterior

THE COHORT:

PRIMUS PILUM (1):
Commanding centurion of the first cohort and the senior centurion of the entire Legion. Responsible for organizing and leading group events or meetings. Helps the Praefecto with running the Legio and administrative duties. Monitors the reports from lower ranks and decides punishments if necessary. Reports intentions or plans to the Praefecto. Issues orders on behalf of the Praefecto.

PRAEFECTUS (1):
The camp Prefect. Overall Legionary commander - responsible for the administration of the Legio and auxiliary units. Coordinates production and distribution of uniforms, equipment, weapons and gadgets. Coordinates and organizes events and inter-sim activities. Responsible for the financial administration of the Legio.

We will not have a Legatus Legionis or a Tribunus Laticlavius.
