Show here your Byzantine warrior impression
#11
Quote: Pretty much anyone who has had an interest in this area has seen my Byzantine warrior impressions! Otherwise have a look at the military section of http://www.levantia.com.au or the two recent Osprey Warrior volumes on the topic.
Possibly, but there are always new members around.

Quote:BTW, this topic ought to be under "Roman" not "Greek" for, while Greek was the language they spoke and wrote, they were very far from Classical Greece culturally, and especially militarily.
It could, and indeed I hardly ever use the term 'Byzantine' over 'Roman'. Ideally, 'Byzantine' would have been a 3rd section, covering a 1000 years after all.
The current division has been discussed before on this board. History or language? A Roman of 200 BC or even a 1st c. AD legionary would feel as alien towards a 12th c. Romano-Byzantine as a Classical Greek would.
The decision to put the Byzantine section with the Greek section was made years ago, and in the and it was based on linguistics. Maybe we should move both sections to the Roman part?
