Tattoos in Roman Military/Society

[M. Demetrius]

On campaign, no small amount of food was provided (albeit unwillingly) by the people near the camp. When the Roman soldiers were out "foraging", the local people probably called it "cattle rustling" and "crop stealing", don't you think? I doubt they said much out loud about it, though, hoping they could keep the house and barn from becoming charcoal. :x
