Ave omnes,
As Chuck Russel mentioned above, Peter Conolly 's 'Legionary' reports the minimum abilities to be accepted into a legion.
According to that, 24 Roman miles means covering 36 kilometers in five hours, carrying at least 30 kg. (I'll remember that next time, when I'm struggling to carry two coca cola crates from the shopping mall to my car :wink: )
I don't know, wether this 24-mile-marches were trained entirely on Roman roads around the camp or in a mix of roads and paths simulating a campaign in foreign countries.
Greeting from Germany
Heiko (Cornelius Quintus)
