Quote:This is a forum for discussion about the Roman Army primarily. Yes, we have a Greek Section, and yes there is a Byzantine Section under that (the latter is Roman though technically). We also have a section on allies and enemies of Rome.
However, discussions about Polish Hussars and Persian Chariots aren't part of any of that. Our objective is to focus on Rome, otherwise we'd be "Ancient Army Talk" or "Historical Armies Talk."
We are lucky to have RAT and a board that is rather forgiving, especially for us "enemies of Rome" who sometimes dig back to pre-Roman eras in that particular culture, whether it be Celtic or Sarmatian. The pre-history is important in defining weapons and clothing worn and used within the Roman era.
Theoretical "what if" speculations and "ancient-modern" comparisons are best left to the History Channel, our finest medium from bringing fiction to life. :whistle:
