Quote:My faith is in the 14 references of the ancient writers concerning State issued armaments than in any modern historian.
You're quite right to go back to the original sources, Steven. Every good historian checks his/her sources ... usually. Smile

But there's a limit to how many sources each of us can study, and we all exercise a certain amount of trust that giant intellects like Mommsen and Syme did not maliciously fabricate evidence. However, "even Homer nods", and that is why we periodically question authorities: I'm glad to see that you are doing your bit for the Republican army.

Of course, there's more to Quellenkritik than sheer weight of numbers. I'm sure you've checked the relative veracity of your 14 citations from 4 authorities -- in particular, I'd be wary that three of them aren't just copying the fourth! Smile
