Having survived the kidnapping, the poison and the bribery I was proud to lead that 1st century army! It was all going so well with my rather tough looking if unruly auxiliaries followed by my hard iron citizen legionaries, flanked by my cavalry. Sadly I fear I was always doomed to lose against the professional 4th century army financially backed by the full power of the state and a command economy. They had better technology, legionaries with massive missile power, infantry who were all Roman citizens some with fanatical religious conviction, plus more and better cavalry. I fear the battle could have but one outcome.
