Actually, no, a thank you to both of the last two posters - that's just the sort of comment I was after initially.
The defence-wall that is - 'well, the Romans were so different that no modern person can make any comment based upon common sense or personal experience' is un-breachable; however much I may think the foundation is shaky and thus have to challenge it and see if I could find out why.
I now think I know why.
