I have decided to make Translations for the ranks for X~Legion and a few meaning of sayings.Just so some people can know. ( It is Latin. ) First of all, X~Legion is translated to the Tenth Legion. Ave' is translated to Hello, Hail. Vale' is translated to goodbye. Now for the ranks. Tiro basically is a novice, beginner. Slave. Well.. Don't really need to explain this. Miles is infantrymen. Legio is legion or regiment. Retentus I really couldn't find any translation for this. What I found was " Detained " Evocatus is basically a veteran. Decanus is imperial officer. Signifer is basically a bearer. Some adj. For this is like Bearer of Images, Signs. Tesserarius means officer of the watchword. Optio means a helper or assistant. Aquilifer means eagle-bearer. Centurio means captain. Praefectus means overseer. Can't find a translation for Castorum. Tribunus means military tribunes with consular power. Legatus means Ambassador. Imperator is Emperor. Vale' Everyone. For the tenth!

Here are some corrections: Tiro - The beginning rank, a normal foot soldier and infantry man, usually the meat and bones of the legion. Slave - A soldier that has been punished for a crime, or an offense. Miles - Also a normal foot soldier, but has been in a battle or so and have had confirmed kills, usually the backbone of the legion. Legio - An experienced soldier that has been in many battles. Retentus - A soldier that has been kept in service after a required term. Evocatus - An elite soldier picked out for his bravery in battle and skills. Decanus - A tent leader, picked out of the Elite Evocatus to lead a selection of 10 men. Signifer - The standard bearer for each Tent, picked from the most bravest and fastest Decani and Evocatus by the Aquilifer. Tesserarius - A selection of elite Decani who are loyal, and have been promoted past Decanus for efforts in battle and leading their tent. Optio - An elite soldier that is picked from the ranks by a centurio for his leadership and fighting qualities. Aquilifer - The standard bearer for the whole legion, picks the Signifers and once the Aquilifer retires, only a signifer can replace him if they show loyalty, bravery, and favor amongst the legion. Centurio (Beginning of HRs) - A leader of 100 men, (80 Soldiers split into groups of 10 for tents so 8 tents, 1 Centurio, 1 Optio, 1 Signifer, And support infantry) Picks his own Optio, and are some of the bravest men to be fighting in the front lines and are picked for their bravery, loyalty, and experience. Praefectus - The overseer of the fort. Overrules all other ranks other than Imperator when leading the fort, and plans the posts and scouting parties.

Yes, I have studied further into latin roots. What people I guess are not seeing is that I tried to use nouns not actual meanings for the ranks. I was wrong about most of the high ranks though.
