I agree that CA is going to do whatever they want to do on the basis that "the historians are just interpreting the sources one way, we're interpreting them another." What a cop-out!<br>

As for gladiators, they were attested a few times, OK, but nevertheless not on the standard menu of selection for provincial governors! Let's be real.<br>
<br>
Can anyone find a source for war dogs??? Flaming pigs <em>in this period</em>? Again, AS A UNIT.<br>
