Sallust\'s description of Catiline\'s legions.
#8
Hi Michael

(To meSmile "... It's Cat. 56. 1-3 ..."

Many thanks. This will save me time. Add the comments about the equipping of the armed force to the later description and one can pretty much make a mental image of what Catiline was able to deploy on the day. It also makes one think about what really appeared on antique battlefields as opposed to what one imagines thanks to Hollywood.

Cheers and thanks
