I tried recently to remember how many books I had read over the past year, I lost count at around thirty, my problem is retention, I am simply not smart enough to even remember all of the titles that I have read, much less the content! :lol:
Back to the 'sawtooth', I may have been hasty in my doubt of the Roman Legions ability to perform the 'sawtooth', even so, I tend to agree with Nathan Ross and others who have pointed to the lack of literary evidence along with the doubtful effectiveness of such a form. It does look really cool in the documentary though!
