MOUNTED LEGIONARY, EQUES
In this reconstruction we show an eques standing beside his mount, fully equipped for campaign, from the time of the Third Macedonian War. He is an aristocratic youth. He wears a Boiotian helmet with a horsehair plume, which is dyed red. He has equipped himself with a short, iron mail shirt with cape-like shoulder doubling and a slit at each side of the bottom edge, giving ease of movement when mounting and dismounting as well making for an easy mounted seat. He carries a large round, flat shield made of wicker and covered in hide, complete with a wooden spindle boss reinforced with a sheet-metal boss plate and plain, painted face. He has a cavalry spear with a small, socketed iron spearhead and butt-spike. A long, straight Greek-pattern sword -a slashing weapon with a longer reach than the gladius - hangs at his left hip from a baldric. He wears a woollen tunic dyed red, and Thracian-style boots. His mount is equipped with a Celtic four-horned saddle, which sits on a tasseled saddlecloth, plain leather reins and bridle, an iron snaffle bit and a plain leather harness. Slung behind the saddle is his campaign equipment, which includes a rolled paenula, mess tin, camp kettle, water gourd, leather satchel and a feed bag for the horse.

THIRD-LINE LEGIONARY, TRIARIUS
In this reconstruction we show a triarius, fully equipped for campaign, from the time of the Hannibalic War. He is a citizen of substance, a battle-scarred veteran. He wears an Etrusco-Corinthian helmet, a peculiar and perverted development of the closed Greek Corinthian helmet commonly worn by hoplites. For battle this was usually adorned with upright feathers (purple or black) and a fore-and-aft horsehair crest (undyed), but these have been removed for the march. He has equipped himself with a long, iron mail shirt and Italic strap-on bronze greave on his left leg, though many triarii would equip themselves with a pair. He carries an oval-shaped body shield, or scutum, with metal binding top and bottom and a metal boss plate (copper alloy or iron), which is reinforcing the wooden spindle boss. He is gripping with his right hand an old-style long thrusting spear, or hasta, with a large, socketed iron spearhead and a bronze butt-spike. A gladius is carried in its scabbard high on the right hip, as is a pugio on the left hip. He wears an undyed woollen tunic and a pair of caligae. He also wears a form of coarse woollen hooded cloak, the poncho-like paenula, commonly worn by everyone, soldiers and civilians, rich and poor, in inclement weather. Invariably of a yellow-brown hue, the body is cut from a single piece of cloth, to hang with a straight lower edge. It is fastened down the front, to mid-chest level, with two button-and-loop fastenings and two bone or wooden toggles. Its pointed hood has been sewn on separately. It is travel-stained. Behind him grazes a mule carrying the leather tent, digging tools, quern stones and pots and pans of the triarius' eight-man contubernium.

SECOND-LINE LEGIONARY, PRINCIPES
Camillan system
Principes were armed with short spears, or hastae, up to 1.8 metres (6 ft) long. They fought in quincunx formation, usually carrying scuta, large rectangular shields, and bronze helmets, often with a number of feathers fixed onto the top to increase stature. They wore heavier armour types, the most common form being chainmail, which offered a good degree of protection without hindering movement.[5]
Polybian system
By the time of the Punic wars of the 2nd century BC, this form of organisation was found to be inefficient. In a new Polybian system, infantry were sorted into classes according to age and experience rather than wealth, the principes being older veterans with a greater degree of experience.[8] Their equipment and role was very similar to the previous system, except they now carried swords, or gladii, instead of spears. Each princeps also carried 2 pila, heavy javelins that bent on impact to prevent them being removed from the victim or thrown back[9]

FIRST-LINE LEGIONARY, HASTATUS
In this reconstruction we show a hastatus, in fighting order, from the time of the Pyrrhic War. He is a citizen of few means: he wears an unadorned Montefortino helmet and possesses no body armour, no greaves and is barefooted. A bronze pectoral plate (about 20cm square) is strapped across his upper chest. He carries an oval-shaped body shield, or scutum, with metal binding on the top and bottom and a sheet-metal boss plate (copper alloy or iron), which reinforces the wooden spindle boss. He is holding two pila, one heavy and one lightweight. An Iberian-pattern cut-and-thrust sword (a straight-bladed, sharp-pointed weapon from which the celebrated Roman gladius Hispaniensis would evolve) is carried in its scabbard high on the right hip. He wears an undyed woollen tunic. It is threadbare and patched.
It is worth noting that the term hastati, spearmen, should be taken to mean armed with throwing spears, namely pila, instead of thrusting ones. This is, after all, the sense it bears out in our earliest surviving example of it, in Ennius' line 'hastati spargunt hasti', meaning 'hastati who hurl hasti' {Annates fr. 284 Vahlen), and their name probably reflects a time when they alone used pila.

2. bronze pectoral
3. two pila (one heavy, one lightweight)

Leves or Velites
Leves (Singular: Levis) were javelin-armed skirmishers in the army of the early Roman republic
They were usually outfitted with just a number of light javelins and no other equipment
Velites were light infantry and skirmishers who were armed with a number of light javelins, or hastae velitares, to fling at the enemy, and also carried short thrusting swords, or gladii for use in melee.
They did carry small wooden shields for protection though, and wore a headdress made from wolf skin to allow officers to differentiate between them and other heavier legionaries.

Leves or Velites
Leves (Singular: Levis) were javelin-armed skirmishers in the army of the early Roman republic
They were usually outfitted with just a number of light javelins and no other equipment
Danik Golovanov said:Velites is a light infantry with light or no body armour at all, equipped with a round shield and animal skin on their head (usually wolf fur) for recognition. They were throwing light javelins and had gladius as a backup weapon.
Velites were light infantry and skirmishers who were armed with a number of light javelins, or hastae velitares, to fling at the enemy, and also carried short thrusting swords, or gladii for use in melee.
They did carry small wooden shields for protection though, and wore a headdress made from wolf skin to allow officers to differentiate between them and other heavier legionaries.
