I just really find it hard to believe that during the later part of the republican period and then after wards that troops were not routinely replenished.
Is there any documentation to prove that once a unit conducted are enlistment, that they received no replacements for the duration of their enlistment?
I don't buy it. When you factor in disease, safety and training accidents alone, a unit would be quickly whittled away and combat ineffective. ON campaign, yeesh..can't even imagine how bad that would be.
Cheers!!
