Romans created many weapons to protect their people but also weapons to attack their enemies. The Roman soldiers were mostly on foot on their attacks. They had a weapon like a catapult that needs a few soldiers to operate it. The catapult is called Onsager. After a battle against another empire or republic, all the units that survived will line up in a line. Every tenth soldier in the soldier will be killed as a punishment. When emperor Hadrian ruled Rome, he had 3 legions. Each legion had about 6000 soldiers. In total, Hadrian controlled about 18000 soldiers.
