Quote:The Vitis was specifically a LAUREL vine, the reasoning to the soldiers being laurel leaves represented victory, and failure would be punished with the same wood. All kind of strength for victory and similar connotations can be derived from this.
Is there authority for this interpretation?
Michael King Macdona

And do as adversaries do in law, -
Strive mightily, but eat and drink as friends.
