Greetings from beautiful Central Massachusetts:<br>
<br>
New recruit here. History has been my obsession for many, many years (since before Charlton Heston ever drove a chariot -- & that was back in ... well, never mind... suffice it to say I'm an old puppy to be upping in a new legion!). My interest in the Roman army is less in the "nuts & bolts" of weapons, organization and tactics than in the operational histories and strategic distribution of the legions and detachments. Unit history, if you like. I've just put online the first of a series of sketches I'm putting together: brief histories of Legio III Augusta, and Legio XII Fulminata:<br>

<br>
I welcome comment, suggestions, questions and constructive criticism. There's also a preliminary bibliography of Legionary Coinage. Over the next few weeks, I should be finishing up Legio III Gallica and Legio VII Claudia, with others to follow as I find the time (8 days a week aren't enough!)<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
