Leather Cuirass Lorica Musculata, I used to think no way but
Hi Theo,

Quote: At first it sounded like you were going to the other extreme, saying that emperors played a completely passive role in battles. Of course this isn't historically accurate and you were not saying that it was - just that they didn't lead from the first rank.
I understand. Big Grin D

Quote: So, Julian is thought to have led the infantry from the front rank ?
I don't think so, no. He was close enough to be killed by a (stray?) javelin, but I don't think he was at the time actually fighting hand to hand with the Persians.
