Yes, that is my quandry, we just don't really know, but since there is continual ongoing research, hopefully, someday, we'll know more. I find my
books are always a year or two (at least) out of date. I was reading "Psuedo-Hyginus" last week, trying to understand his version of the camp, and especially guard duty and guard mount. Definately interesting. So many groups are recreating 1st Century AD, AD30-80, but.... with such limited information. No, I am not going to get into correct marching commands, tunic color, and when the specific additional pay started, let alone wondering if the centurion actually paid his assistants extra, from his own income, for doing certain technical tasks...... at least not on this thread.... :lol:
Mainly I am trying to see what other first person ( in period) sources people recommend....
