Men were not supposed to get married while they were a soldier. Most soldiers in the Roman Empire came from countries outside Italy. There were Roman soldiers from Africa, France, Germany, the Balkans, Spain and the Middle East. Soldiers had to stay in the army for at least 25 years! Then they could retire, with a pension or a gift of land to farm. Old soldiers often settled down to old age together, in a military town or colonia.

The legal system of Rome from the supposed founding of the city in 753 to the fall of the Byzantine Empire in 1453; it was later adopted as the basis of modern civil war. Most authorities, however, disregard the largely static period following the reign of Justinian I.
