Who Were the Professional Veterans of the Roman Army?

Full video: https://youtu.be/6lgzHnHcCDA featuring Veteres Milites and @ImperiumRomanumYT

This video reenacts what it was like to join the Roman legion. The process included passing a physical test, proving one's qualifications, and taking a Roman soldier's oath before the commander. The coexistence of older troops and junior recruits proved valuable, since the older men could be expected to pass on their institutional knowledge to the next generation which was to eventually replace them.
