wounds and infections
#13
I think far too much attention is placed on "stabbing" in the Roman army, everyone forgetting that the gladius was a double edged slashing weapon as well. There are many accounts of heads and limbs being severed in battle, and also archaeological evidence such as the British skeletons in the hill fort of Mai dun besieged by Vespasian. I seem to recall many sword cuts on the skulls and other bones. Dan <p></p><i></i>
