Scutum shield, and other issues
#1
listen dont be so hard on me i live in a really small town with very little resources, and i dont have internet at home, and my school banes alot of sites
i would look this up if i could
if u find an older thread that answers these please send it to me

republican soldiers and casars soldiers wore lorica hamatA? what kind of shields did they use? the red traditional scutum?

once lorica segmentata was introduced (hadrains time?) did every soldier use that same uniformed armour?

did every soldier have a RED shield?

this may seem dumb, but how high was a centurions horsehair plume?



i am reading a book by seutonius about the twleve casars
julius cesar not only fought in gaul, but in germania, against mithradates of pontus, against parthia, in egypt, in northern africa
8 YEARS IN SIcily
fighting pompey, in northern greece and spain
is this suetonius account true?
how many years did casar actually fight?
it seems he spent his entire life fighting, for only a month as dicator.
could a single soldier fight in allo fo those wars?
were all the battles as big as say pharasalus, and actium?
