The Legion (or Roman Legions) is the general title of the armed forces of Rome. As the empire's military, it is the centerpoint of a military-industrial complex with unbelievable power and international authority. Feared by foreigners and revered by patriots, the Legion is without question the most effective army in history. Founded in the 4th century BCE, the Legion has never ceased growing in capacity. Historians and tacticians theorize that Rome's legions rival the combined forces of all other nations. A modern Golden Horde would pale in comparison.
