Exactly why does an SOP have to be complex? Why does everything have to be written down and endorsed by Caesar himself before a century can perform it?
Why do we need to put the values of our current military system (extremely complex and ridiculously dangerous and often based on actual science) and put it in an ancient time?
I just think that we make things more difficult than they need be.
On a side note that first scene from "Rome" was pretty cool, definitely got me interested. But knowing what I know now it would have been more interesting to see them face off against Gauls with shields that fought in some semblance of order or cohesion. You know, like how Caesar mentioned it. And if the Romans charged and threw pilum too, kind of hard to do either with someone grabbing your belt from behind.
Either way agree to disagree.
