A life in the legion can still profit a Rin after retirement. Many Veterans have learned that the skills they have learned can fetch a pretty penny in foreign or private armies.

There are five main types:

Comitatenses:

Veterans hired once again by the military as a mobile crack infantry.

Equites:

Horsemen who have served their time. They come in two variants. Light and Cataphractarii.

Bucellarius:

The private soldiers of senators and wealthy business men. These war bands can also be hired from Non-Rin clients. They always come in bands of 500.

Manica:

Named after their arm guards. They are retired or run away gladiators that either fight alone or in small war bands of 20ish. They are most commonly hired by outsiders.

Pedes:

Common infantry. Or men from the Fief or auxilia units that now serve as mercenaries. Generally they fight in war bands of 600 to 1000.

Cool thing about this post is that anyone can use these mercenaries in their armies. Note they all will use Rin equipment and armor.
