Most probably young men in their 20s as they lived up to about 40 during that era.

"Life expectancy at birth in the Roman Empire is estimated at about 22–33 years.[9][notes 1] For the two-thirds to three-quarters of the population surviving the first year of life,[10] life expectancy at age 1 is estimated at around 34–41 remaining years (i.e. expected to live to age 35–42), while for the 55–65% surviving to age 5, life expectancy was around 40–45.[11] The ~50% that reached age 10 could expect to reach ~45–50,[10] and the 46–49% surviving to their mid-teens could on average expect to reach around 48–54"

There is also nice table showing the life expectancy in the Roman Empire.
