The Losantes are the soldiers in the prime of their life and form the second line in a legion's battle formation. They will engage if the Rorarii were unable to break the enemy formations. Having large reserves of fresh troops available on the battlefield to engage in critical moments is one of the pre-unification Atlantean armys keys to success. They are expected to weaken and tire the enemy, if they cannot break him, the next line that of the Andabatae engages.
