I recall seeing a program, documentary or movie about the Gallic wars I think and the legionaries were signalling from hill to hill with semaphore lines i.e. coloured panels and shapes to stand for short words, phrases or standing orders.
Would this have been accurate? I suspect it could have been given the Roman's inventiveness and engineering skills.
Is there any evidence in the written or epigraphic record?
As always, all information and opinions are much appreciated.
Cheers all,
Pict (Andy)
