Zodiac and Roman Army Camp construction
#29
Quote:I do seem to recall once reading some old paper which suggested that in fact initially Augustus set the army at 26 or 27 legiones and then later increased the number to 28 when additional territory was added. Is this what you were hinting at Mr C?
Actually, I suspect that he may have started out with 29. But that's another story. The main point is that we don't know for certain. So it is rather unwise of Steven to build such a radical theory (the supposed Roman veneration of the number 28) on another theory.
