Legion near Judea at time of Jesus

[Purplest]

I tend to agree with most of what y'all are saying. The historical evidence does back up a lot of it. It's just strange that the catholic church always tends to lead you to believe that it was roman soldiers that did a lot of these things. And a lot of the church's depictions lead you the same way. Look at a lot of the catholic church's sculptures, paintings, the stations of the cross, etc. Most all are shown as roman soldiers and not anyone else. Again though, as you stated, most people do not know a lot about the roman army. Enjoyed y'alls input and its food for thought.

Cheers,
Thomas
