Hello Caius here I just purchased the book, Imperial Roman Naval forces 31 Bc-AD 500. i found it a good product that answerd many Questions about Roman marines. However a question has arisen. In the plate shore duty Late 1st Century/Early 2nd an Optio is shown with a muscle curias. I always thought this was used only by senior officers by this date 2nd century. I always thought the rank of optio was a junior rank, I have read similar to corperal. Also of intrest to me was a 1st century Legionary with no doubler.Thanks in advance cheers Caius(Thomas Razem)
