RULES OF THE LEGIO

As a member of the group you must respect your role as a representative of Legion XIII. When you appear in public wearing the group title of Legion XIII your conduct needs to be careful and polite, and your avatar appearance should be that of a human Roman legionary (your Avatar's skin may look however you like, the ancient legions recruited from all parts of the empire, and all recruits were treated equally... we only ask that while in legion "mode" you wear a human form to be visually in tune with the rest of the environment)

- Refrain from harassing citizens (verbally, sexually or violently) or any other disruptive behavior.

*Transgressors will be ejected from the Legion*

Please make sure that you have read the ROMA roleplay guidelines (found in the entrance area). Roleplay must never impinge upon the experience of a visitor to the ROMA sim who does not wish to roleplay.

- A degree of customization is permitted in dress and weapons, but historical and aesthetic restrictions apply - please avoid anachronistic material in your dress and appearance. This means stick to the guidelines of the time peroid... No firearms of any kind! Check to see that the weapon you are using is compatible with the Legion's combat system and guidelines. If you have any doubts about using a weapon then ask one of the officers.

- When on parade or participating in an event only the (free) low-prim standard issue weapons and armor may be worn.

Legion XIII is a non-profit Citizen run group, it is not officially affiliated with ROMA or its commercial business, and survives off the donations and good will of it's members. We ask you to consider making a small regular monthly donation too help pay the rent for our properties in Roma Subura (the communal fort and headquarters building), advancement of weapons and fighting systems, and the continual development of the legionaries Lorica (armor) and equipment. The fact is that if everyone in the group donated just Linden$ 100 per month (only 1 US dollar!) then we could safely afford to finance all our needs.

THE LEGIO XIII IN SECOND LIFE

The SL Legion was established as a tribute to the real Legion XIII. In this spirit roleplay is encouraged but Legionaries should conduct themselves with honor and respect for others. Our aim of re-creating the lives and dress of the ancient roman legion as accurately as possible requires that our members be willing to adapt their behavior and appearance when wearing the Legion group title, and during Roleplay in Roma.
The group is subdivided in 3 subgruops:
Infantry
Cavalery
Amazzons

Our army is subdivided in 3 centuries and each one has

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.

IMMUNES AND PRINCIPALES (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.

THE IMMUNES 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.

DECURIONES (8): Directly in command of the lower ranks. 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 and Principales to be sure they don't abuse their powers against the recruits.
OPTIONES (1): 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.

CENTURIONES (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 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:
