Well, just so you know, we're utterly 21st Century Romans...we're able to transmit battle plans very quickly and easily. Yes, of course we built our own tower for telephonicus cellularis.

Why little known. Everyone knows archeologists never found telephone cables, internetcables etc, so the Romans surely knew wireless techniquess

I've also been informed that device is clearly out of my time period. They said it was Byzantine or Late Roman. Maybe so. I'm always working on my kit, like everybody else. :wink:

Which reminds me of the fact that the Romans also invented Facebook. We discussed it some time ago, here.

Good reproduction if I say so myself. ![[Image: houten2007_37.jpg]](http://www.fectio.org.uk/shows/houten2007_37.jpg)

Certainly a very good 1:1 reconstruction of a 21st century microphone
 Well done, Sir!

Just imagine the beating you would get from the Centurion when your cellphone rang in formation while he was talking!
