[What Would Happen?]

Another Hypothetical question? What would happen if Julius had left more leigions to pacify Gaul when he left for Britain?

[Could the Celts have won?]

It was close but the true fact is even if the Helvetii and other tribes had joined i personally dont think that it was physically possible for Julius to lose this one.

[Had Carthage ever a chance?]

It WAS close at times but Carthage just could not stand against the might of the Roman Leigions, in fact the only smart generals who went against Rome were mainly hit and run

[Gracchus Land Reforms Pro Or Con?]

For those of you who do not know what the Gracchus land reform is, it is when Gaius Marius changed a law which had previously only allowed men who owned land and got a profit from it, i personally think that it was stupid to even place the law in the first place.

[Pro Or Anti Marius Reform.]

It is 107 B.C. and the Grachuss land reforms were probaly the best thing which happened to the legions, to those that dont know what the Gracchus land reforms were it was when Marius decided to change a law which meant men who dident own farms and gaining a profit from them could join the leigions because they were fighting the second punic war (i think) and they needed men

[Roman Conquests]

I always loved Gaul and have read Julius's book on The Conquests of Gaul i recomend it to you its an excellent book called

Conquest of Gaul

[Roman Victories. Which Is Your Favorite?]

I did enjoy reading about the tactics of Illipea so im voting for that

[Military Styles]

Wow Late Republic and dying days is popular

[Reenactors]

sorry but i live in Sydney Australia and ive dreamed of joining a legion reenaction

[Roman Officers]

2) Does the contubernium consist of ten or EIGHT legionnaires? I know this differs because then a century (consisting of 10 contubernium) would be either 100 legionnaires... or 80... so which on is it?

You must never forget the officers, they add up a fair few of the leigion

[Mithridates "the Great"?]

Well even raising that many men against Rome is an accomlishable feat especially with great crushing defeats oif other rebellions close at hand

[Rome's Biggest Military Disaster]

I think its Adrianople no Roman wants to remember that battle

[Would You Buy This?]

they look like a fair quality but i would have to agree with lost warrior about not knowing

[Unarmed Combat Training]

The Roman infantry defeated Phobos knowing that the penalties were very harsh, Execution, Disbandment or even Decimation. Also they held because they knew that they were protected on both sides by other leigionaries wheras other tribes just ran as an onslaught leaving gaps or constricting each others movements

[The Greatest Roman General]

Maybe so but you can definatly agree that he was not good for Rome. I mean i think it was 10 000 Romans he killed in Rome alone

[What Would Happen If Julius Was Not Killed]

I personally am i strong believer in Julius not accepting emperorship and remaining dictator, the people loved him, he was bringing great victories all over the world, although he did, when several people hailed him as emperor and the tribunes threw them in the dungeons, got very angry at them and dismissed them, however he would not accept a crown even after several offers.

[Best ancient generals]

Marcus Aurelias???

seiriously what great accomplishments did he achieve i mean i would put Cornelius Sulla before Marcus

[Best ancient generals]

My order would have to be:

Gaius Julius Caeser

Hannibal

Scipio Africanus

Alexander the Great

Gaius Marius

[What Would Happen If Julius Was Not Killed]

What would happen If Julius Was not Assasinated would the Roman Republic stayed alive? Would Julius have conquered Europe? Asia? The World? Would we still accept Roman authority today?

[Greatest General 2]

Who is the greatest General? Is it Scipio Africanus for his victories in Africanus, Is it Julius for his pacification of Gaul or maybe its Octavian for his humiliation of Julius Assasins you decide

[The Greatest Roman General]

Also Caeser is not way overrated hes definatly on the same level as Hannibal and Alexander however i would back Julius Caeser as a greater tactician out of those 3 anyday

[The Greatest Roman General]

Who voted Cornelius Sulla??? He was evil

[Areas Of Expertise]

Im dont have a degree in History but im a student of Latin so im pretty knowledgeable in the fall of the Republic

[Areas Of Expertise]

Mine is Gaius Marius, Julius caeser, Pompey, Crassus and Cornelius Sulla
