Quote:- How old is the book?
- Generally, historians don't give a hoot about the exact equipment of a Roman soldier and, to be honest, it very likely makes no difference for their argument anyway.
Book was written in 2006. One would think if you're going to be talking about it, that you should know what it is you're talking about. Which is why now I question the rest of the book. Something so simple as a soldiers armor which is widely known should be easy to get... but he goes into conversations, and talks about what a certain person did in a certain situation... I just find that hard to believe now.
I guess this probably happens a lot.
