FLavius Valerius Constantinus

On a mass scale, I would say decimation is probably the worst in the legion. I don't get why an emperor would want to destroy his own legion.

Wow, what the nerve of that article, I don't know why people bother reading it.

Wait, how many Helens' are we talking about here?

The worst punishment of anything is death pretty much. I remembered watching something on the history channel about a Roman fort in Britannia. While digging in the fort , the archeologist found a scull neatly cut in half( the face part of the skull was totally sliced off, isn't that gruesome). The archeologists assumed the cut-face belonged to a merchant who ripped off the Roman soldiers and so the soldiers got pissed.But then some other archeologist came up with the wack idea that the face belonged to a Roman soldier that everyone disliked. WEIRD isn't it.

Sorry, but the majority of us are from England and the US(I assume you are from Austrailia?), so I doubt any of us would know what you are talking about.

Is there any chance of whatsoever that the mods can change the layout or theme of the forum because I find it dull and hard to concentrate when reading.

Uhhhh...sorry I have no idea what you mean.

"Esox Lucius" Esox, the old Latin name for pike, used as early as Pliny; perhaps derived from the Greek isox, or both the Latin and Greek from a common Celtic root (as in the Welsh ehawc, eog, "salmon") lucius, from the supposed Latin name for the species, likely derived from the Greek lukos, "wolf", an obvious reference to the predatory habits of this fish. Ironically, the latin for pike is also lucius, so it might be confusing. Here is how it goes: 1) the first word usually is the name of the genus( means species with common attributes, features, and characteristics to clear up how they get the name) 2) second word is the name of the species is conjugated in the latin adjective form( word used usually refers to or means an attribute of a creature or where it may be from.This can also apply to the genus)

I'm the way northside of Chicago, Illinois. That's right, I'm a Cubbie.

Uh so are we discussing about modern day Celtic nationalism or the past. If so, then its good because either way, you are identifying your cultural roots which is good to know.

Violentilla is seriously such a cool name, I wish I had such cool wit and creativity. As for me I decided to imitate or emulate my favorite emperor.

Thanks alot Jim, that got me thinking a little better.

What do you mean some Roman Catholic have three Gods, us Catholics may refer to it as if we had three Gods, but we're still talking about the same GOD and that is where the Trinity Doctrine comes in.

It was just referred to as the place where the nomadic Helvetii plundered the most and where the major conflicts occurred between the legions and them is one way to think of it. I think it's just north of Cisalpine Gaul and west of Rhaetia.(Correct me, bc I think I'm really far off)

Wow, never thought of that. Well if Octavianus was not in the will, I would assume he would just appeal to Caesar's legions whom are very loyal instead of the plebeians, don't really need their support.

Three things I wished that happened: 1) Julius Caesar should have conquered Germania Magna, imagine Romanizing them and which they would provides the best soldiers to protect Roman borders against the future Huns and other Roman enemies. 2) I really wished Germanicus didn't die so he could have finished his German conquest 3) If Julius Caesar and Germanicus didn't do it, Trajan and other emperors would have.

Nero was probably the worst politician and leader, what in the right mind would make you burn down Rome, if you want a prominent person to pick without doubt.Worst general would be Emperor Valens, I mean, how do you lose to the Goths who had inaquedate resources and horrible maneuring and who managed to attack the sides of the Romans with their lame calvary, then draw the Romans in and then fully flank them.

Uh so how long was his reign and which time period was he from?

Suckering suckertash, I didn't know google earth existed. By the way, has anyone used this to their advantage(stalking).

Are there any surviving ones from the constantine and byzantine era?

EHhhhhhh...Call of Duty 2 isn't great, but its good, but not good as brother in arms, now that game is amazing. As for me I'm looking forward to perfect dark zero, halo 3, and mostly xbox360 games

Probably Josephus and Suetonius

LINK Maybe that helps since it's the respectable Cambridge University archeology team. Look at the archeology research section. They have lots of things on their projects. I hope that helps you out. And if you have no luck, try their affiliate links at the bottom or you can google up these special words " Classical Archeology"

Sorry but I'm also a video gamer, I don't know why there aren't any other video gamers on this site.
