Oh! It isn't absolutely exact translation of the letter. Actually we couldn't to read it in a respectable society. It was much more cheerful. By the way, the letter (the draft copy of the letter is more true) has been kept by miracle, the original wasn't kept.

Romans began to use auxilia during the war with Gannibal. Cavalry was a weak spot of the Roman army always and many fights had been lost becouse of this. At second half 2

I think it is a beautiful legend. Even Plutarch spoke about Romul as about the hero of a legend, but tried to make his more real. Actually the similar history is at many nations. (At Russian, for example, one of the versions of Kiev's foundation).

At present time I don't can to scan images (the book is in Moscow and I'm in Crimea). I tried to find this images in Internet but without any results. How to help you now?

Wonderful! Let's make it. Das somebody like this idea? I think we can discuss more thems and have bright talks.

"This map really does not affect our notions of the discovery of North America. The true discovery of the American continents came more than 25,000 years ago, in the depths of the Ice Age, by Siberian hunters who followed the mammoth herds into what is now Alaska."
Fancy! All America is one large Siberia!

Do you think luck evens itself out?
I think it should be. That happened with you should not take place. Therefore the surgeon was good and could help you.
Yes, you luck is limited by how much you think you're pressing your luck. ("Am I pressing my luck with this? WHAM!!...urg....*thud*)Yes, it happens. While success was on my side. Sometimes I feel, that is necessary to stop, but I can not yet.

I like an extreme and I prefer extreme sports: rally, gliding, a mountain bice, etc. I make high-risk acts and have luck. But frequently in a daily life there are annoying troubles which cause more harm, than my extreme. For example, I can do a parachute jump and land without harm for my health, and next day twist a foot going downstairs.
Should my life be extremed constantly?
Is there a limit for luck?
Did you do any mad acts in your life? How much are you luck?

Well done! I can do translation into Russian? Is it possible? Are you agree?

Oh, no! It's not necessary to change anything! It looks soundly for me!

L. Sextius was the first plebian consul.
P. Licinius Calvius, consular tribun in 400 BC, and the first plebian who was elected to that magistraty.

Comitia curiata was only own form of assemblies of Roman people (patricii) before reform of Servius Tullius. Comitia curiata lost any real mean wis apperance assemblies of centuria and tribus and was saved as survival of olden days. They had formal rigth deliver to Imperium to magistratus. Every time they voted the Lex curiata de imperio. To accept this low there wasn't need presence of curiata's members. There were enough 30 lictoris ( as were 30 curiae) and 3 auguris.
Before the reform of Servius Tullius patricii were divided into 3 tribus (Ramnes, Tities, Luceres). Each tribus was divided into 10 familiae. Therefore were 3 tribus, 30 curiae and 300 familiae.
I think it's true.

It is more similar on PC game, instead of to a real situation. Even if it would be possible, the winner would stand on a battlefield one above hill of corpses. For whom is it necessary? Let there will be a drawn game.

Do you mean modern poets or ancient? I like poetry too.

Yes, it's perfectly shown in the movie "The Lord of The Rings", but I didn't read about these alarm fires at ancient authors. Nevertheless it seems so simply and accessibly.

Where do you get that from, and which period are you talking about? Considering some items could be passed from one generation to another I find "severe punishment" difficult to swallow. By "different weapon" do you mean the difference between a spear and a pilum, or a Mainz gladius and a Pompeii gladius?...
It said Polibius about Punic wars. Scipio Emilian punished a legioner during siege of Numancia who had the sheild bigger size. I meant this only.

"Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum". I think, this is the same crazy movie. I saw it. What I may say? Real funny. But it isn't "my". I don't like so absurd things. Interestingly, what is your estimation of this movie?

well europeans and germanicus, I guess that we will never come to an understanding on sports, as our sports are way too advanced for your cultures.
It is senseless dispute on anything.
Sport is an individual choice of each person. It is normal, that in the different countries prefer different kinds of sports. It is a traditional choice of this or that country. I think your remark isn't correct. That beats everything. How the American or European football becomes the standard for measure of our cultures advances!?!

Legions were armed a stabling sword (gladius hispaniensis). They lenght were 24-26 in. First such swords appear in Spain. It's a sort of Celt sword with sharped and elongated tip. they were accepted in the army in time of second Punic war.
Shields of heavy warriors (Hastati&Princepii) were 4 foots hight and 2.5 foots widht, were curved and oval in form. They were manufactured from wood and covering by a leather. Such shields Romans took over Celts. (Shield=scutum, it's same)
Equipment in legions were same. That was indispensable condition. The legioner, who has different weapon as helmet other form or shield big size or other cloth, was severely punished.
The manufacture of weapon was profitable business in Rome.
