Article draft \"Fighting Greeks, Naked Celts\"

[Sextus Saturninus]

The Thereophoroi were Hellenic. Romans were Italian. They might have fought similarly, but they are not the same. Also, the Thereophoroi sometimes just skirmished, and other times just fought in a formation. Roman infantry always engaged the same way on the battlefield. Romans never used Greek names for their soldiers either, so in Greek minds the Romans could be Thereophoroi, but never in Roman eyes.
