Roman Infantry Data

[Anonymous]

Does any one have any good research or data on Roman Infantry,weapons,siege weapons,standards,and armour I could use to write a 'novel' with? I want to be a writer and I might as well write about what I love, Rome and her Soldiers.<br>

Vale Raven, and welcome.<br>
In addition to many sites on those topics, may I suggest you look at Sander's FAQ ?<br>
<br>
www.geocities.com/richsc5...ander.html<br>
<br>
Sander, one of RAT's experts, has compiled a list of the threads here, as well as suggested reading lists. <p>Aulus, Legio XX.

Rich, at the bottom of your thing it says:<br>
'Aulus, Legio XX. the HIGH NOISE/low signal person for RAT. ICQ 940236'.<br>
What does all that mean? And thanks for the site!!<br>

I just checked out Sander's list - fantastic!<br>
<br>
I'd like to add my two sestercii: Read the ancient sources, at least in translation, and don't just research the army. Although the Roman army was a microcosm unto itself, no army exists in isolation from it's society. <p></p><i></i>

Great discussion guys. I'm going to go ahead and move this<br>
one to the Roman Military Forum.<br>

The thread was originally on the Round Table one on RAT and then moved to this one, Roman Military History/Archaeology.<br>
<br>
There is also a Roman Army Forum run by Vardulli.<br>

It means I talk a lot and am a rank amateur but I don't let that stop me. The Aulus is my 'legion' name, and I reenact with Matt Amt's Legio XX in Washington DC. <p>Richard Campbell, Legio XX.
