There was a post in another thread that asked whether there were any "special forces" in the Roman Army. I found an interesting article on Roman legionaries being sent out on intel and recon missions. I'm not sure how accurate it is, but I thought I might pass it along for anyone who might be interested in discussing it:<br>

A related article discusses the Roman version of the "Secret Service":<br>

Thoughts? How accurate are these articles and does anyone know of any other sources that discuss these phenomena?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance!<br>
