You know I find all of these practicalities absolutely enthralling. I always interested in the common man, the average guy, the regular state of affairs - not ballistas or galleys or artillery or aircraft carriers ... always the life for the lowliest grunt, the commonest denominator.
And what the legionnary carried on the march is basically it. His life between barracks. What was it like? Lighting fires? Cooking? Watches? Patrolling? Foraging? Rain? High altitude marches?
I participated in my own bit of research with follow Late Romans ([url:3q9fiemv]http://www.geocities.com/zozergames/roman3.html[/url]), but I want to know alot more.
Keep the discussion going!
