Well speaking from experience You have to stay hydrated all the time. I am in Iraq right now and the only way to keep from falling out is to drink lots of water. I would say that the Romans would have had to do the same. One way we try and keep cool is we pour water down our shirts and get soaked before we put on our body armor. We also get a cloth wet and put this on our heads when we have the chance to take our helmets off. So I would guess that they would have done some of the same things. Times and equipment have changed but the basic grunt/soldier has not.
