Thanks to you all for the certificate! You guys are great! 
I'd like your guys opinion on some good reads before I purchase anything. Some nice ones to own for reference and stuff like that. 
Thanks, 
Quintus 
 
 
 
I got a good laugh out of this quote. Enjoy! 
"We need a few more legions of Romans. Give one of these locals a pilum and he'll just pick his nose with it." ~ Ben Hur

My favorite two books so far about the Roman army are Hannibal by Theodore Dodge and The Grand Strategy of The Roman Empire by Edward Luttwak.
