I’m in need of some answers of what a life of a Roman soldier would be like during the First Century, particularly in Jerusalem under the commission of Pontius Pilate.
--What would the soldier’s living conditions be like? I know he would live within Herod's Palace with the governor, but what would his life be like?
--What luxuries would he be allowed to partake in? Would he live like a slave or more truly like an honored warrior?
--What would his attire and garments be like? Would he always be wearing armor, helmets, and cloaks, even when he was off duty? And would his clothing be more based off the style of the Roman society, or would it be similar to the Jew’s tunics?
--What would some of his duties be? What would be some of the orders he’d need to carry out for the governor? What would serving a Roman governor be like and what would be the reward for completing a task?
--What religion would he be? Would he believe in classical Roman paganism or something else?
--What would be the price of betraying the Roman government? Would it be exile, execution, or does it just depend on the circumstances?
Sorry if this is a lot. Answer what you can please. I would be grateful for anything you could give me. : )
