Should trust to Plutarch Gnaeus Pompeius gave the cognomen of Magnus from his army in Africa, but it came in full force as Sulla endorse it. Pompey became to names himself Magnus later everyone and after a long time, in time when he was sent to Spain as the proconsul against Sertorius.
I think Plutarch is right. Pompey worth the cognomen of Magnus and the glory and love of nation.

By what means the discipline was maintained in Roman legions?
How were legioners punished for minor infringements?

I think that falling Rome is the result of destroing moral principles.

Unfortunately, I could not find the reference in an English-speaking site. I think that Corinth was under the control of Macedonia. Macedonia at that time supervised territory of Greece. But Corinth had any management and legally entered in Common Greece union as the independent state.

Corinth was the collecting point of Common Greece in head of Macedonia from 338 BC to 243 BC

Thanx, Valens.
The bronze Etruscan situla of the Sertosa places in Civic Archaeological Museum in Bologna in room 10 ("The Etruscan Civilisation"). Four warriors depict here. There is the tablet with the inscription "typical etruscan warriors of 6-5 BC".
I prefer to believe my own eyes.

Only very worthy victory might give the right for a triumph. But how might the worth of victory be assessed? It

Yes' Certosa situla is dated 5BC. ETRUSCAN's warriors depicted on the situla. That is not VENETS.

Of course, this is correct, but date from 3-4 BC . In 5 BC only roman-etruscan army had use any fighting formation. Square and oval shields were applied in etruscan army and I don't know about use their by venets. The etruscan warriors were depict on the Certosa Situla.

The pilum and the martiobarbul are not different weapons. The martiobarbul is the perfected pilum. The practical application of this weapon are not change.

Since 3 CE an armour were used seldom. Probably, it is connected to falling discipline in the legions. Anarchy was typical for this century . It has touched the army too. The armour have remained at cavalry. They were scaly or such as a chain armour, length up to knees, with cuts on each side and with long sleeves. The chain armour weighed 55-65 pounds and was more flexible than segmenta.
Martiobarbuli has replaced pilum because it was more perfect weapon. It was the jagged dart with lead weighting. These improvements have made the throwing weapon more destroying. Besides, the additional weighting allowed to strike more exactly and advantaged the greater penetrative force. Military art does not stand on a place, the weapon will be improved at all times.
Excuse me for some mistakes.

Ovid is my favourite poet. I read it poems only in Latin. It sounds very hardly in Russian translation.
I read Lucan too. Really, it was very interesting, but it read slowly because style was difficult for me.
The first poet whom I have read in Latin was Catull. I can remember something:
Ille mi par esse deo videtur
ille, si fas est, suparare divos,
qui sedens adversus identidem te
spectat et audit
dulce ridentem, misero quod omnis
eripit sensus mihi....etc
My apologies. I can make mistakes.

I don't say that all people were small height. There are always exeptions. We aware about that Caesar and Marius were tall because they were notable among common sosiety. It was the distinctive part of their external shape.
Gaulic warriors were really high if them to compare to undersized Romans.

I think that foods were not first reason which influence on the growth of people. Many chemical minerals are influenced on growth (iodine, calcium, phosphorus etc). It's possible some things had been occuring in atmosphere of Earth. Air, water, soil had been change what lead to chainging of the mineral balance (the same foods, for example)

Once I visited a "World of Etruscans" exhibition. Here was many things including helmets this epoch. I noted that the helmets had mainly small size. Such helmets would unlikely use an average statistical man of our time. What happining? Have people been growing for 2500 years?

Venice was established in the middle of 5 CE by the inhabitants of the firm ground who were saving from barbarous attacks. The population found a refuge on islands. Islands became a part of the latin culture. Formation of the Venetian state began in 9
