    how far could a pilum be thrown?

    For the sake of economy,after a clash, was it the norm that the discarded/used pilum collected and made reuseable?

    Henry VIII wore football boots

    Before Edward started losing his toes?
  3. Shame he then blew it by being replaced in Britain after conducting punitive raids that if anything only increased anti-Roman hostility.
  4. The victory over the Iceni in 61AD on Watling Street I have heard was achieved despite being outnumbered 20:1. Possibly an exaggeration I'll admit
  5. I'll do that I was thinking of Imperial auxiliary units, for instance the Hamian archers based at Vercovicium. What of their standard bearers? Were their officers equipped like normal auxiliary infantry centurions or did they differ?
  6. Can anyone inform me (or provide me with a link or other source) regarding the organization of auxiliary archer and slinger units? (breakdown, officers, officers' equipment, etc). Thanks in advance

    Alauna and Bremenium

    Thanks very much Pertinax, I'll do that.
  8. I was wondering if anyone can give me any information regarding these forts, particularly in reference to any civilian communities in their immediate vicinities (whether native Votadini or more Romanized/Romano-British)? Thank you in advance

    Henry VIII wore football boots

    I guess when he was younger, allegedly quite a virile hunk then, but I can see him more as a real tennis and hunting afficianado rather than a renaissance Roy of the Rovers.

    The Departed

    I think I'll wait too. Isn't it a rip-off of the HK movie 'Internal Affairs'?
  11. Hail to all. I've been living in Korea and Japan for some years now but good in many respects to be back in Europe and the trawling around ancient remains can resume with zeal. Thanks
