How tall was the average Roman Soldier

[Robert Vermaat]

There is no way to be sure about build.

I fully agree with Sean. After all, we do not have suffficient data about the Roman soldier from c. 500 BC top c. 500 AD, ranging from a tribesman from the central Italian hills to an Egyptian, a Briton, a Spaniard, a Syrian, not to mention volunteers from Germania to Persia and everyone inbetween. It's a good question but it's impossible to answer it with any scientific credibility.
