Quote:Hi,True, but among a group of soldiers it seems a bit 'overdone' to have every soldier decorated so much. I supposed you had a trooper, an optio, a vexillarius and a centurio - hence the question.
3 Chiefs? Why? Dona militaria (phalerae, torques) are for every soldier. You must know that!
Do you think really that the dona militaria are just for Centurios? That is not right.
Indian? The atachement for Plums are regular also.
Sorry for my bad english.
I'll explain the remark about the indians: "too many chiefs, not enough indians" refers to groups where all want to be an officer and too few want to be 'just' soldiers.
