Quote:Could be - but when does 'Roman' change to 'Byzantine'? And what would the Roman military punishment for rape be? I'm reminded of the story in the Historia Augusta about Aurelian, when a tribune, punishing a soldier rapist by tying him to two bent trees and having him torn in half... :unsure:
*edit - I've seen some claims that Ruffus was actually writing in the days of Maurikios, and even that he was the real author of the Strategikon!
1548 is when Roman was changed to Byzantine.
