The early Roman Army, which was formed in c. 500 BC, were like any other army at the time. The army was influenced by Greek Civilization. The early Roman Army was very small as it only encompassed around 9,000 men. The army at the time was strategically limited, but their stance at the time was very fundamentally defensive. After a really long time the Emperor Gallienus (253–268 AD) began a reorganization that created the last military structure of the late Empire. By this time the Roman Army was extremely tactically prepared and high in strength. Not much is known about the Roman Navy. What is know is that men known as duumviri navales commanded fleets of up to 20 ships to control piracy.
