I agree they go hand in hand, but such topics already grow organically from our current focus.
It is hard to imagine Rome defending Britannia, for example, without the roads. But, just as we should not make Hadrian's Wall the focus of the forum even though it figured largely in both the defense of Britannia and the eventual fall of the empire, roads or food or clothing or rituals will naturally be explored as they relate to the army.
Let the participants "vote" with their postings--just as all politics is local, so all topics come from the interests of the partpicipants--but keep the site focus on the military.
