Women in the roman army? (Combatants)
#43
That raises another point: even if your female could disguise herself to look like a soldier, she probably wouldn't know how to act like one.

Assuming she somehow interposed herself, appropriately attired and somehow carrying the weight, in the ranks, the first time a command was given and she responded wrong, everyone around her would be thinking, "This new-bee is going to get me killed."

Followed by a closer look at the strange soldier. At which point the charade falls apart. :oops:
