Hi everyone! I'm a new recruit - I posted on the other board, but thought I'd say hello here as well before launching into my question...<br>
<br>
I've read "The Roman Soldier" by G.R. Watson, and in it (as well as on the internet), I've seen many references to commissioned v. non-commissioned officers, and that commissioned officers might serve for a shorter term, in specific units, and so forth.<br>
<br>
But all I can find are references - can anyone explain to me how the commissions worked or suggest a source for me to look into? <br>
<br>
All my appreciation in advance!!<br>
