[Celtic/roman Culture]

Im 3/4 irish and a quater dutch, i live in England, im pagan, im a fair hand with a sword and a dead shot with a bow, i have long brown hair and a beard, im 17 and i dont like Romans, does that make me celtic ? what is celtic? i mean how can you class the majority of europe in the iron age as one Celtic people, why dont you use the tribe names ? Helveti, Brigantines, Iceni ?

[Greeks Vs Romans]

i prefer anciet Greece to rome, sorry, but was there ever an encounter between Hoplites and legionarries ? i know there must have been for greece was part of the roman empire, how did the legions beat the Hoplites ? try to be fair, no comments like, "Cause rome is great"

[About Saddles And Stirrups.]

the roman saddle is from the spainish celts, the romans didnt need striups because the saddle has special grips to keep you in the sadle, the huns where the first cavalry in western europe to use the striiup

[Rome V Han China]

Ok, first this topic is dispised by the three forums i go on, SimaqianStudio, the Chinese history forum and this one. in the open on a field infantry against infatry the chinese would win, the only senario i can think of that allows the romans to win is if the ambush the chinese in a ravine, the chinese armys of the han are well trained, maybe better than the romans, there weapons are used in unison, swords work with the Ji soldiers, the ji hold the enemy while the sword hack away, the chinese officers are trained in military acadmies btw
