Journal Title: Studia Salvatoriana Polonica - Year 2018, Vol 12, Issue

Abstract

In this publication, based on available literature, the subject of the Cohort in the Roman Empire was developed. The following conclusions were established. Cohorts were formed by Roman rulers. The units were joined by volunteers. Recruitment took place in provinces of the Roman Empire, mostly in military barracks. A volunteer had to be healthy and physically fit. The most important task of this military formation was providing protection for the emperor, his closest family and Rome. Cohorts were everywhere, where the Roman emperor stayed. These military troops were also made responsible for keeping order in the Roman state. Soldiers watched over the gates and streets of Rome, they dispersed demonstrations, fought criminal groups. They carried out reconnaissance functions, construction works – built bridges and camps. They were armed with a helmet which protected the head, an armor which shielded the body, a sword and a spear. Cohorts were the power and splendor of the Roman emperors’ rule.
