Hey goffredo,<br>
<br>
I finally have some evidence to back up something i've said. In A. Goldsworthy's "Roman Warfare", on pages 126-127, there are 4 pictures of legionarys using their weapons in various ways. One of them clearly shows a legionary slashing a Dacian. These pictures are from the Adamklissi monuments. Anyway, you are likely right about them using their weapons in different ways during a battle. These pictures confirm this.<br>
<br>
I'll be reading more of this book tonight, so I'll post again tommorow on this.<br>
<br>
Marcus, the title is "Centurion, A Novel on Ancient Rome". <p>"Remember, pillage first....then burn."</p><i></i>
