Reply to How did the Romans manage to arm most of their soldiers with swords? by Horror_in_Vacuum

Truth is most soldiers used spears which was a lot cheaper and much more effective. Those with swords useally brought their own or had a specialized reason on why they needed a sword and not a spear but if you were just a random Roman soldier you almost always got a spear as your main weapon.
