Raising the alarm in the Roman camp

[jkaler48]

Of course all of this information is contained in the various editions of the Legions of Rome Centurion's Guide which has been out of print for some time now. Copies of the early editions could be found in the Library holdings of the Alexander Library until the fire in 391. The rest of the copies seem to have been lost during the so called "Dark" ages. Many current military procedures probably have their origins in Roman military tradition passed down thru succeeding armies over time but the documentation has been lost.
Some of these intervening armies likely had access to original writing documenting Legionary practices that are now lost.
