[Gladiator]

My favorite line of all in the movie and kinda the most memorable or coolest is " People should know when they are conquered."

[Worst Roman Punishment?]

Wow, those punishments seems to bring me the most visual imagery so far of all the punishments.

[Medical Corps]

My Latin Teacher gave me book called Roman Medicine by John Scarborough

and has a big chapter on medicine in the Roman Army.I could scan it for you I think.I talks alot about the medical corps ranging from Caesars army to different other generals.Well the book only talks about how they served their purpose came to be one. It applies to only strictly medicine topic.

[Worst Roman Punishment?]

Is cutting off the genitalia common among women (or men) a Roman practice.

It's working now.

[What Would You Be In Roman Society....]

I'll probably be a centurion working his way up to tribune and so on and I'd probably be based in Britannia or Judea.

[Posting Ranks Explained]

Damnatio, uhoh, I hope I don't join them one day.

[The Legions: How Do They Get Their Names And Number]

The numbers I think are most confusing. So they don't use the numbers of the legions whom were defeated, lost, or disgraced in battle?

[The Legions: How Do They Get Their Names And Number]

For example Legionem XXIV Gemina. Can someone explain to me how a legion is formed from scratch and how the legions get their specific names and numbers. I really wish someone can explain this to me.Oh also, how would you tell the origin of a legion.

[Unrv Nation States]

I'm definitely going to join but the things thats been irking me is what to name my nation, I want it to be a little Roman yet funny or cornyish in a way thats cool.

[Greatest Military Moments of the Roman Empire]

Don't forget the naval battles. The battle of Ecnomus :

In 256, the Romans sent a fleet of no less than 330 ships from Sicily to Africa, where the army aboard was supposed to strike at the Carthaginian homeland. Before crossing the Mediterranean, it encountered a Carthaginian navy of 350 ships, not far from modern Licata, at Ecnomus, an early third-century city founded by refugees from Gela, The site has been identified at Poggio di Sant' Angelo.

The fight at Ecnomus was to be one of the greatest battles in history, because on both sides, more than 140,000 men were present. The Romans won the battle, and could continue to Africa, where they were eventually defeated.

I mean 140,000 men fought this naval battle, what a tremendous number.I can't seem to remember the name of the Roman admiral.

 

Also, name some other famous admirals

[Roman Baths]

The most opulent and largest baths were the baths of Carracala.

[Happy Birthday Moonlapse!]

Happy Birthday and since its your birthday everyone sings the birthday song. How old are you now...how old are you nowwwwwwwww?

[The Revolt]

Yes, yes, such a cool guy Vlad was that he dipped bread into his victims blood and squeezed the bread to get the blood instead of eating the bread.

[The Revolt]

I meant that impaling wasn't their favorite method( something that really designated the Roman way)of punishment unlike crucifixion which was. But Vlad Dracula was known in history to be most reputable with impaling his victims.

[Horrors Of War]

Pretty sure I'm wrong, but I think its because when the inhabitants surrendered, they promised to comply to the conditions with turning in all their arms(swords) and so they did, but with the exception that a 1/3 of them kept their weapons.They then went back inside and fought with Caesar. In the end Caesar won and he because he was so piss, he allowed the slaughtering of them and their bondage into slavery.

[What Amped Up The Roman Soldiers' Pysche Before A Battle?]

Sadly, technological advances of the British farout repels the legionary tactics due to the tech. gap.

[The Revolt]

Your method of punishment is not at all Roman. That style of punishment right there belonged to Vlad Drucula(that's right, the real one) whom impaled tens of thousands of his enemies ( inluding innocent men,women, children,..). I think his victims were mostly Ottoman-Turks.

[Worst General Or Politician In Roman History]

Worst general is Julius Caesar of course, and worst politician must be Cicero. Perhaps Marcus Aurelius or Diocletian.

 

I was about to slap you silly, I also agree that Nero was a horrible politician( only thing he ever learned was assassination).

[The Revolt]

You know Favonius Cornelius was joking right?

[Germanicus]

I would depose Tiberius, meaning assassination. Marched around the empire with my legions to strengthen my cause to be emperor with show of force. Then I would go on a major campaign against Parthia and come back with spoils and riches. And for those who disagree, Parthia can be beaten(I mean we did take over Mesopotamia for a while). All you have to do is ally yourself with Armenia, unlike Crassus, and used their land as a base point. Also use their fiercesome calvary.After that campaign, I would do the death choke on the Germans and bring back more slaves and men for the recruitment of the Legion.

[What Amped Up The Roman Soldiers' Pysche Before A Battle?]

What's that Zulu movie where the English soldiers are surrounded by the 4000 Zulus, I believe that the Zulus had this really cool chant, but I think Gladiator really ripped them off by stealing the chant. If you watch Gladiator and that Zulu movie and compare it, they are almost identical in sound and chant.

[Worst Roman Punishment?]

I also believe Napoleon when he himself was exiled to Corsica used it, also know known as the island of exiles, as a rallying point for 1000 disgraced soldiers on the island. My point is Corsica still remained an exile island later on.
