I've been playing Rome: Total War (and having a wonderful time) and was wondering about a unit called <em>arcani</em>. The game treats them as some sort of super ninja unit. I knew they were used as spies but didn't know anything else about them. After some research the only source I could find was Ammianus Marcellinus in the fourth century. Are there any others? Were they used earlier? How much do we know about them? <p></p><i></i>
