Quote:I don't know about exactly which side the sword was on for Romans.Not here please.
1) there's been a boatload of info on that topic on this forum - use the search function.
2) it's totally OT.
Come to think of it, this thread has been going lots of place besides Sub-Roman Britain Cavalry during my holiday. Best close it or start new topics, this is NOT a dumpster for all kind of realted issues - there are plenty threads for Roman cavalry, swords, etc.
Quote:Should we start a (separate) thread on the effectiveness of arrows and spears against various types of armor? :?I think there have been plenty of studies already in threads spread out over this forum. If you do, please use the forum first, then start a new thread but in another section please.
Meanwhile, I'm going to do some splitting here for late summer spring cleaning. :wink:
Mod mode out. :twisted:
