Separate question re the plumbata case/ bucket etc. Does anyone speak Greek and/ or have a Greek version of the Maurice Strategikon?
In B Infantry Formations, para 4 "Armament weapons of the light-armed infantryman" he writes in the English version "They should also carry lead-pointed darts in leather cases or slings". Does anyone know what words he used in the original and what they might mean?
And, btw, he also recommends that darts be used by heavy infantry, by waggon drivers etc etc!
Cheers
Paul
