Quote:I'm sorry but I could not disagree more with your statement Sonic. The Romans went on the offensive a number of times during the 4th Century.

My fault. I should have said that attitudes were changing during the fourth - as witnessed by Julian's desire not to waste men in 'trivial' battles- and by the fifth it needed a strong leader to fight a major battle. In fact, the fifth century is dominated by sieges and ambushes/'ruses'.
