Did somebody read this book?
What do you think about the theory that until 390 BC there was no roman citizen army, but that the warfare was dominated and conducted by warlords and their clans? The imperium is explained as a sort of contract of protection between a warlord and the urban community.
Part of this theory is also that Romans never fought in hoplite formations.
