Well, if it's on an ancient tombstone, that's good enough for me. Plus it occurs to me, the average Marcus might not have had basic math tables drilled into him the way we have, so an easier numerical system would make sense in that light. But what I was asking is...
Are there books by archaeologists about their finds on legionary digs, and who? Like information on armor, weaponry, kit and helmets that were intact enough to see how it would be reconstructed 2000 years later, by people like us? What I'm looking for is archaeological and scupltural evidence to base my works on, when I build and buy my kit. I may be a little too insistient, but I want to look as much like a Roman guy in the army as I can.
