I would say use two contubernia armed with gladii (swords) and pila (lances). Have the centurio detach a squad of Syrian archers for the operation, too.<br>
<br>
Then work it like a sting operation. Use a lightly (or no) guarded mini-caravan laden with all kinds of booty to lure the bad guys out of their den.<br>
<br>
Then kill them!!!!!!!!!!!<br>
<br>
Look up on Google some articles on how Julius Caesar caught the pirates harrassing the Italian coast to get a feel for the bait-and-strike method of catching brigands. <p><BR><p align=left><font color=gold><font size=2>
