Could you explain, please?
Quote:Simon James, In Rome and the Sword, makes an interesting point: "Startlingly, the Romans had no term equivalent to our phrase 'the Roman Army', because no such entity or concept existed."and I made the point that this was not strictly true, as Tacitus had used the phrase exercitus Romanus, even if the Roman army themselves did not. I think Tacitus counts as a Roman ;-)
I hope that makes things clearer.
