😨 What Happened If a Roman Soldier Fell Asleep on Guard Duty?

What happened if a Roman soldier fell asleep while guarding the camp?

Roman armies organized night watches and patrols to make sure guards remained awake and at their assigned posts. Polybius gives a detailed account of this system and records that a guard found asleep or absent could face a military trial and, if convicted, the punishment known as fustuarium.

This account comes from the Roman army described by Polybius, so the exact punishment should not automatically be applied to every Roman period.
