Thanks, Evan
But it's overly "cataphractish" and the bottoms of my feet were burning after walking the Kennebunk mile. I'm just impressed that Tacitus was correct. It wasn't pro-Roman anti-barbarian hype. Once down, you're down for at least a minute or longer. That's all it takes for a Roman to stab you with his little teeny-weeny shorty-sword.
What are those things called, anyway? :dizzy:
