FUN FACT: There’s some limited evidence that literacy was higher in the Legions than in the general population. Not because it was a recruitment requirement, but probably due to a mixture of the low literacy of rural areas, that almost all promotion opportunities in the Legions required literacy, and the fact that bored soldiers pass skills around almost as often as STDs.

My rule of thumb is that anybody who talks about having a high IQ doesn't.
That would be legitimately useful experience for the militaries of the time
How do you feel about dumb old Gaul?
“It’s dumb”
(Happy approving scribbling of notes)
It’s dumb but it makes sense on the business side. The reason they don’t hire over qualified people is because training costs money and they don’t want to hire someone that will quit at the drop of a hat as soon as someone offers them anything higher.
Uh, you can get a job with the military pretty easily. Some won't qualify, but most will be happily accepted.
