Imperial Roman organisation

[Rod MacArthur]

In general I subscribe to the theory that the Imperial Roman Army recruited its legions in mass enlistments at set periods.

Where are you getting this theory from?

Nathan,

There is a thread on this very forum about Legion Reinforcements which examines that theory, following the publication of a number of books expousing it by Stephen Dando-Collins. Although the general consensus was that his books contain many errors, there were a number of forum contributors, paticularly including yourself, who subscribed to that part of the theory. You referred back to an earlier thread from 8 years ago, which had an interesting in-depth discussion of the matter.

I think you are right.

Rod
