Soldiers I'd imagine, since i'ts to do with Hadrian's wall.

Maybe if you told us your essay title we could give you a bit more advice....

Essay title
Why were the Romans so Powerful

The power of the Romans comes primarily from their armed forces, obviously, but not only. Bear in mind that trade and transport, effcient administration and a good legal system also contributed to their power.

I recommend you get a book called "Roman Armies" (or "The Roman Army") by Peter Conolly. It may be in the children section of your local library, but it gives you a very good overview of how the roman army worked and why it was so powerful. He also wrote separate books on Roman legions and Roman cavalry. Thats where I got most of my knowledge of the Roman army from. These books also explain the weapons- for soldiers as well as siege weapons. They have many illustrations (very good ones!) but they go into a lot of detail.

I could go on and on about the legions, cavalry, navy, auxiliary troops and so on, but I think it'd be better if you got these books, look in your local library or on the school library.

If you still need help or you cannot find the book, I'll tell you more on weapons or on how the legions worked. How many words is th essay supposed to be, and how much detail is expected of you? Is this essay meant to deal mainly with Roman military power, or other factors as well?

I hope this helps. Good luck!

please everyone i am trying to get it finished but cant do a thing unless i get information and all i need to know is about how the romans lived and about their health and hygiene
