  1. name me a country/empire/race/faith that hasnt tourchered or butchered or punished a weaker race? sofar i can think of the swiss... germany under hitler was a powerful properus country that made mortorways cars trucks tanks and people in a quality that wasnt matched by any country at the time, they made ships that scared the english fleets (england had a fleet larger then any two other nations combined) germany alone went to war with every other country around it including america and russian and for the most part won, they were disaplined loyal troops, masterfuly made equpiment and a growing industry, not unlike the romans, except rome never went to war against all its enamys at the same time. jews are bombing people and distroying homes and towns... they deserve no more pitty then any other faith or race, i think the only reason they get it is they complain and pour about the past rather then get over it and carry on like every other race has done, notice, the only jewish state is one that was given to them, while other faiths and races fought and made there own. also spartacus, i think rome delt with those that resisted the same every army has done from long before rome, and until this presant day, it is accepted by the west, and from what i have read and believe, by the east to. it is simply the means to an ends, kill a town of 10,000 50,000 100,000 now, and you end the truble there, at least for awhile - take the upriseing im sure youv watched the movie to, after every slave that resisted was exicuted... there wasnt a rebelus slave problem anymore, the same with carthage after its anilalation, there were no more punic wars... you have to kill those that are a threat or youll just keep fighting.

    Roman Special Troops

    Welcome to the forum Dream... just to let you know... we've pretty much had our fill of the Alexander vs. Caesar thing around here. Such conversations have their purpose and can be entertaining, but eventually they end up in an eternal circular pattern that can't find a conclusion. hi primus thanks for the welcome, and the info - this was one of the first topics i added to, and i did say it was off topic, but of course.. ill keep my ideas and comments that are significantly offtopic to my self, im just a big alex fan [edited by mod as inappropriate--PP] i thought youd all want to know.. on the BBC on wenday there is a show called 'rome' guess what its about, obv it hasnt started yet but i wanted to let you all know so you can either set your vicers or order the channel(giggles) or perhaps even just set your pc to watch it online...

    Roman Conquests

    'longbow' i tottaly agree, the movie about king aruther being a roman leader of sarmation knighes was the worse movie iv seen in a very long time, and i watch alot of new/***** movies... altho the romans say sarmations were sent to england, the whole idea of a group of 5 people fighting to protect hardians wall is a joke.. the wall at parts is about 3 feet high? it was NOT to defend the land it was to tax trade, check how meny people game in, went out and so on.. 5 people who spent almost 2 minutes of the whole moive on horses...... and total ignore mounted weapons, like erm spears or lances? in place of a nice looking dagger? just just, anyone that uses that movie for anything other then a coaster deserved to be put in a sack and beaten then thrown into a river, and then have the river taken into space and thrown into a sun.... name the show i stole that from you get a cookie... also ;longbow' your nice hellllo i like germania, macedon, greece for the romans beating on there historical predeceors, kind of to decide if the greeks had the right idea, phalax and lines, or the new comer romans with a pilum and short swrod, (a sword that the greeks were scared of and saw the woounds it made as being amazing and awful) fighing in colums with speed and big shields... i also like the germaina camp- so call barbarians teaching the romans a thing or two in combat and tactical planning.. right its 10, and sunrise.. im off to bed.

    Roman Special Troops

    in afirca, some legons were given army coated with spikes in an attempt to unfoot elephants if they steped on the body of one of these spike clad men, theres no real metion of it ever being noteable succes and so one must assume it was a nice idea and must have looked interesting, but failed. id just like to voice my thought that the romans didnt need a special ops unit that we do today. they had an all powerful military machine of large numbers of well trained well disaplined well equiped troops. unlike today if a town or city or people were against rome the would be crushed and beaten into submission, or diplomates would work out a pleaceful option, it isnt like today with the politacly correctus of not butchering a town to teach them a lesson, ( no referance to bagdahd there - if anyone was wondering ) in short, the romans used axulias and local people or local mercs to fill in any unit roles that they were lacking in, such as elephants or horsemen or greek spear men, but a roman army on its own was pretty much more then enuff deal with any other army of the time off topic, alexander would have made short work of the romans, even if againsts gaius julius cease, who lost a few battles and whos greatist battle was against verson getorax. aka simpleton barbarian. i felt i had to add that in there.
