It delves into the mindset of these soldiers, and the oath that they took to serve Rome for at least 25 years, the loyalty and the mental fortitude it required. Musically, &#8216;<strong>Legionnaires&#8217; Oath&#8217;<\/strong> hoasts a powerful pounding drum beat paired with a commanding lead guitar melody.
