    Was the Occupation of Britannia worth it?

    Do you have a link to that post, or if not, were such artifacts attributed to trade or raiding?

    Empire VS Republic

    When I was younger, I always thought the Republic represented the continuation almost of Hellenistic social and political development in ideals, but in reality I now very much doubt that.

    Ploughing with Camels??

    Would you have any images of that in practice? My main reason for questioning the original image was the mechanics of it (camels being rather tall).

    Asterix And Obelix

    They also thankfully play rugby as much, but in the book it's seemas terribly British. All good fun though.
  8. I always thought the odds at Mons Graupius were only 2:3 against Agricola,and while a 'great victory'for him, it ultimately did little to secure Caledonia for the Romans.

    Trajan's Campaigns in Parthia

    That's what I've read, but were they in evidence before then?

    Is that how they spell 'mosque'? or am I missing a Canadian joke?

    Roman Perceptions Of Britain

    If civilization is the Congestion Charge, increased Council Tax to pay for the Council Tax, an inability to finish Wembley, a terrorist threat, overpriced housing and a high crime rate, I'm going back oop north to my cave in the Cheviots!

    Trajan's Campaigns in Parthia

    Just a quick question re: Trajan's wars, was it during this time that the use of legionary forearm armour was introduced?

    Cinema Depictions Of Caesar

    Looks how I'd imagine Caesar. I see Rex Harrison (and rest his soul) but I just think of Dr. Doolittle.
  18. The article overall is good in its honesty that in the end the subject will probably never be truly solved but then the author writes "There is no evidence that we are wrong to wear blue and the wearing of white would surely be incorrect for field order" without reference to sources other than what his group of reenactors wear

    Roman Perceptions Of Britain

    I'm trying to imagine Brigantes with flatcaps and whippets

    Clashes with Norsemen

    During the Empire, how common would such private retinues have been?

    Asterix And Obelix

    And if all Druids were like Getafix, no wonder the Romans wanted them suppressed

    Your Favourite Roman City

    I voted for Rome, the birthplace and the model for the heart of the kingdom, republic and empire.

    Christianity and the Fall of Rome

    Although the Eastern Roman Emperor existed until 1453, did the 'Roman state' exist till then or were simply vestiges hung onto in the hope of legitimizing rival regimes?

    Hastati, Pricipes, Triarii

    I've always thought such distinctions passed at the end of the 2nd Cent.BC with the Marian reforms.
