Quote:My point, though, was that a simple barbarian shield wall must have made the short stabbing gladius without any 'reach-over' tougher to use.
Don't forget the civil wars and the internal uprisings, where Forces trained in the same way confronted each other.
First you train them and later you fight against them.
Sounds familiar, almost modern.
