An interesting conversation last night with Tarbicus on (amongst many other things) Roman whistles. This was sparked off by the HBO programme and the difficulty of hearing verbal orders in a large formation or in battle.
Roman whistles are yet another thing that I know very little about, but I found this picture from excations at Canterbury
Also at http://www.canterburytrust.co.uk/school ... gall07.htm (keep scrolling down despite all the interesting Roman photos)
Can someone help me with more info/ other finds/ military context?
Cheers
