Answer 2

Marius abolished the maniple system and replaced it with a single cohesive unit known as the cohort. He promoted soldiers to officers from within the ranks, improved weapons, awarded retired soldiers with land and made the Eagle the primary standard for the Roman army. By doing all these things, Marius was able to reform the Roman army and convince more people to join.
