Three events accelerated the transformation: the stripping of civic right from common soldiers as a consequence of the Senatus Consultum of 215 BCE; the peculiar commitment and loyalty to each of the successful Roman commanders; and the evolution and changing of the tactical composition of the legions into units that emphasized the primary importance of the cohors and the centuria.
