Antiochus of Seleucia Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 There was an instance in the early history of Rome when a father commanding an army told his son not to engage in battle and yet the son did. The son won the battle or single contest and yet the father had him slain. Sorry about the lack of particulars. Heard of it. Don't remember the details. Have the book info: Brand, C.E. "Roman Military Law." C1966 VTexas Printing Div. Austin TX. It's somewhere in there- and in my school library... unaccesable until sept. 5th. Arg!
