I said they weer used - not that they were necessarily used by Romans.<br>
<br>
However Romans did alelgedly use flming pigs against Phyrus's elephants, and gladiators a few times during the 1st century BC - I'll see if I can find some references for you. Gladiators were of course used famously in Spartacus's revolt, although they used captured roman equipment once they got their hands on it.<br>
<br>
Seleucid elephants sometimes wore armour - no-one said it was complete, and some societies did use wardogs.<br>
<br>
I never said they were common.<br>
<br>
How common does it have to be before you are willing for it to be in RTW?<br>
<br>
StrategyM I'm surprised you consider the scions of the upper classes to be better soldiers than the lower classes in your game.<br>
<br>
I think we are only talking a matter of degree.<br>
<br>
However to my knowledge teh Praetorium is a particular location in a roman camp - it is the Headquarters, regardless of where the General may be - jsut as the gates are named, the various "streets", etc - so the Praetorian cohorte's primary duty is to guard that location - whether they also provide bodyguards for the general is up to him. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub45.ezboard.com/bromanarmytalk.showUserPublicProfile?gid=stickers>Stickers</A> at: 8/19/03 2:27 am<br></i>
