Roman Legionaries 1930's Style

Death for intruders lurks in the dense South Asian jungle shade.

For patrolling the jungles that protect their Imperium is an elite squad of XLV Legio Asiae. 

Their patrol is to protect the hidden city-state of Novum Imperium Romanum Consularis Julius Augusts XXIII (New Roman Empire of Consul Julius Augusts XXIII ). Strangers they locate are either eliminated or made slave of the Imperium.

They are armed with the latest in Roman small arms weapons technology. The patrol is under the command of Centurion Hadrius Corfortium who is armed with a Electi Parvus Sagitta Dirigentes (Elite Small Arrow Shooting i.e. heavy submachinegun). Four have the Parvus Sagitta Dirigentes (Small Arrow Shooting-i.e. a Submachinegun) Two have the Gravisbus Sagitta Dirigentis (Heavy Arrow Shooting-i.e.Assualt Rifle) Stong fire support is give buy a Multi Sagittam  Dirigentis (Many Arrow Shooting-i.e Light Machinegun). While for serious problems the very deadly Constantinus Ignis Iaculator (Constantin's Fire Thrower-i.e Flame Thrower) is always ready to burn away troublesome intruders. For defense, their Galea (Helmet), Lorica Segmentata (Body Armor), and Scutum (Large Shield) are made of Sagitta Probationem Metallum ("Bullet Proof" Metal).

The Signifer is not just a standard, it is also the squads Missis Aer Nutiis Acciprentis (radio transmitter/Receiver) The insulated helmet allows two-way communication with command base.

With such advanced weapons and armor, it may not be long before Novum Imperium Romanum Consularis Julius Augusts XXIII decides to forgo its hidden status to once again expand as it begins a new Roman conquest of the World.

But until then, they will build their strength and maintain their secrecy with extreme prejudice.
