That 'illustrates' ( M ) the problem very well. Connolly depicts Roman soldiers using the corvus to attack a Punic ship during the First Punic War, while McBride's is about naval soldiers in the later empire. We might add Connolly's great illustration of the aquilifer of Caesar's Tenth making a beach landing in Britain. The early empire is conspicously missing! <p>Greets<BR>
