Was the Occupation of Britannia worth it?
votadini replied to votadini's topic in Provincia Britannia
Do you have a link to that post, or if not, were such artifacts attributed to trade or raiding? -
Thanks for the warning Pertinax.

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.

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).

They also thankfully play rugby as much, but in the book it's seemas terribly British. All good fun though.

Outnumbered Armies - The Greatest Victory
votadini replied to Tobias's topic in Gloria Exercitus - 'Glory of the Army'
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. -

That's what I've read, but were they in evidence before then? -
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
votadini replied to Gladius Hispaniensis's topic in Gloria Exercitus - 'Glory of the Army'
Just a quick question re: Trajan's wars, was it during this time that the use of legionary forearm armour was introduced? -
Looks how I'd imagine Caesar. I see Rex Harrison (and rest his soul) but I just think of Dr. Doolittle.

Legionaries Clothing Colours
votadini replied to votadini's topic in Gloria Exercitus - 'Glory of the Army'
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 -
I'm trying to imagine Brigantes with flatcaps and whippets

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

Christianity and the Fall of Rome
votadini replied to bovismaximus's topic in Templum Romae - Temple 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
votadini replied to Julius Ratus's topic in Gloria Exercitus - 'Glory of the Army'
I've always thought such distinctions passed at the end of the 2nd Cent.BC with the Marian reforms. -
