Quote:Is the bucina mentioned as being used by soldiers somewhere in the sources? Vegetius, II.22 is a great passage: "The music of the legion consists of trumpets, cornets and buccinae ... The classicum, which is a particular sound of the buccina or horn, is appropriated to the commander-in-chief and is used in the presence of the general, or at the execution of a soldier, as a mark of its being done by his authority." Hope that helps :wink:
