Just wondering, would you have liked to attend a roman legionary "modern" college?<br>
<br>
Could, just one year of it (not fanatically), be an useful thing to build character of young people and teach them to learn no-modern technology living too?<br>
<br>
So, just not a military academy, but a mind restoring experience: maybe a little bit hard but human and without excesses. Don't you think it can help them to appreciate the present "confort" without forgetting the basic activities a man has to know, like, for example, making themselves useful objects instead of just buying them or defending himself without a gun...<br>
<br>
Suggestions:<br>
<br>
1) the building: a reconstructed roman fort (like Saalburg, for example)<br>
<br>
2) the " iron uniform" (eh, eh, eh, you know about "uniforms"...<br>
<br>
3) the drill (you know it too<br>
<br>
4) the classic studies<br>
<br>
5) the language (Latin of course, and maybe a little bit of Greek)<br>
<br>
6) sports (first cavalry sports, you know them too<br>
<br>
7) the work (handicraft: wood, leather and metal. Building construction)<br>
<br>
EM the clubs (centuriae or cohortes)<br>
<br>
9) the strategy and tactics<br>
<br>
10) the fight (intended like martial art)<br>
<br>
11) the spirituality (religions, myths, traditions)<br>
<br>
12) the laws<br>
<br>
<br>
Improve this list if you like...<br>
