This video dives again into the fascinating world of Roman logistics. maintaining a 300,000+ strong army across 3 continents was necessary, but put a large strain on the Empire. Soldiers needed to be properly sheltered, equipped, and paid to ensure battle-ready field armies. Our previous video, "The genius supply system of Rome's army" focused on the macro scale of logistics and how the provinces, treasure, and environment was adapted to support the army. This video, however, will dive into a more micro scale and will try to estimate the ACTUAL quantities of goods and supplies that needed to be readily supplied to the army...
