Responding to JohnCook86: I'm not an authority, but my understanding is that the Roman style legion successfully defended the Byzantine Empire until it fell to the Ottoman Turks in the 15th century. Although the quality of the legion's equipment did decline over the years, it shows how effective the Roman legion was as a military force. It helps me understand how they swept all before them in the earlier years. <p></p><i></i>
