I am new to Roman Army Talk, and from what I can tell it looks like a great group of people.<br>
<br>
I am a writer and am working on a story which takes place during the first half of the first century AD. It takes place in and around the Tenth. Since I demand (of myself) historical accuracy, I have a few questions to ask.<br>
<br>
1. What is the amount of detail I can expect to find about the Legio X Fretensis when doing my research? I would to find out what their involvement was on Crete. Was Crete a stop over between Italy and the Mid-East?<br>
<br>
2. Was this particular legion used in a similar fashion as are the more present day Marines? Where might I look for this type information?<br>
<br>
3. Is it possible to find out specific names of some of the various commanders during this time?<br>
<br>
4. As for their shield design. I have seen several different examples of their shield and standard designs. Where might I find accurate information?<br>
<br>
For now this is it.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
