segmentata

Hi Matt,

I agree with most of what you say, just this:

Quote:
Quote: I don't think that the Gladius was the defining reason that Segmenta was introduced.
Very much agreed. It seems bizarre to me to think that the Romans designed weapons to fight each other!

Why would that seem bizarre? There has been a lot of study about outside influences on Roman arms & armour, but I've also read theories that most of the fighting of Roman armies was in civil wars. So would somehow only external wars have had influence on military development? Somehow I seriously doubt that.
