Quote:It will be published as part of my book The Anatomy of the Roman Legion, 500 BC to 200 AD. This is not an advertisement for the book. I just wanted to have an Archimedes's moment, and instead of running into the street I decided to use the modern equivalent, the Internet to celebrate the moment. I've had so many research breakthroughs concerning the Roman legion over the last fifteen months I allowed myself to lose discipline and publicly blow my own trumpet. The book should, hopefully be made available in twelve months. I haven't sorted out a publisher as yet; I'm more focused on finishing it. This premise of the book shows the organization of the Roman legion based on all the numerical values cited by all ancient writers covering the period 500 BC to 200 AD.Wow -- I hadn't realised how long this teaser trailer has been playing. No wonder it's one of the longer RAT threads.
