Characteristics? Emotional and mental would be the good Dr Watson's clues. A guy who'd spend 16 to 25 years fighting people with spear and sword would be one case hardened man. You'd have to see how he thinks of hostile tribes near Rome's borders-'those people', or 'meat' or maybe 'slaves and profit'. You'd also have to observe how our man acts around those in positions of authority. How instictively he acts when a praetor or senator conveys a wish, directed towards him.
