Quote:"Well I do not doubt you and have not done so maybe you have got the wrong person. And Class I in the Servian constitution is also the largest class with 40 centuries so no argument from me. Guess that shows the Servian constitution did not change that much. "
yeah, you right, my mistake.I appologize.
I'm just trying to figure out how many of Legionarii could have high quality equipment, and members of Class I are those who would definitely be able to afford it, be it bronze cuirasses, or even mail.
If Velites were formed from proletarii i guess they would only select the young ones, those who would be physically fit for such thing, because while skirmishing doesnt required best physical constitution, it would be definitely a problem for some old farmer who spent most of his life working on the field - throwing javelin effectively kinda requires healthy back, while farming is one area well known for chronic back issues..
