On a related note, I'm currently reading Anthony Riches 'Wounds of Honour'. Its an OK read, a few inaccuracies ... but the jarring thing for me is reading about the big battle when the soldiers all grab each others' belts to steady themselves, complete with whistle blowing - seems to all be lifted straight out of HBO's ROME. :-( :-(
