Legate of XVPrimigenia

Another Hypothetical question? What would happen if Julius had left more leigions to pacify Gaul when he left for Britain?

It was close but the true fact is even if the Helvetii and other tribes had joined i personally dont think that it was physically possible for Julius to lose this one.

It WAS close at times but Carthage just could not stand against the might of the Roman Leigions, in fact the only smart generals who went against Rome were mainly hit and run

For those of you who do not know what the Gracchus land reform is, it is when Gaius Marius changed a law which had previously only allowed men who owned land and got a profit from it, i personally think that it was stupid to even place the law in the first place.

It is 107 B.C. and the Grachuss land reforms were probaly the best thing which happened to the legions, to those that dont know what the Gracchus land reforms were it was when Marius decided to change a law which meant men who dident own farms and gaining a profit from them could join the leigions because they were fighting the second punic war (i think) and they needed men

I always loved Gaul and have read Julius's book on The Conquests of Gaul i recomend it to you its an excellent book called

I did enjoy reading about the tactics of Illipea so im voting for that

Wow Late Republic and dying days is popular

sorry but i live in Sydney Australia and ive dreamed of joining a legion reenaction

You must never forget the officers, they add up a fair few of the leigion

Well even raising that many men against Rome is an accomlishable feat especially with great crushing defeats oif other rebellions close at hand

I think its Adrianople no Roman wants to remember that battle

they look like a fair quality but i would have to agree with lost warrior about not knowing

The Roman infantry defeated Phobos knowing that the penalties were very harsh, Execution, Disbandment or even Decimation. Also they held because they knew that they were protected on both sides by other leigionaries wheras other tribes just ran as an onslaught leaving gaps or constricting each others movements
