  • Tirones () were new recruits in the armies of the Roman Empire. A tiro could take up to six months before becoming a full miles (infantryman/private). In the 4th century, Vegetius describes his ideal, rigorous training, in contrast to the lax habits of his own day: "Of aspirants for enlistment were required good eyes and sound and vigorous bodies; but no definite height, certain units excepted, seems to have been prescribed... After taking the oath (sacramentum), the recruits entered upon an intensive and apparently endless course of training. The success of Roman arms, like all others, came from drill, discipline and training."
