I agree with telling Shapur's great success but you ruined it all by mentioning a supposed destruction of a 70 thousand strong roman army at Barbalissos. It is quite supposed! Is it mentioned in "roman" sources? Is it not unlikely that such a very large disaster be sweeped under the rug without major consequences being known to us?<br>

The romans did not have the resources to handle such a large destruction so we would know about many great repurcussions that would confirm such a disaster. Even if they suffered defeat it is unlikely they suffered a destruction. The word "destruction" sounds like propaganda. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub45.ezboard.com/bromanarmytalk.showUserPublicProfile?gid=goffredo>goffredo</A> at: 1/27/04 10:25 am<br></i>
