What about this attribution of "military reforms" to Marius? In researching for my undergraduate thesis last semester, I couldn't figure out just where it had started - I certainly couldn't find any ancient sources, and my read of the secondary source material seemed to point to a much later (early 20th Century) invention by historians...possibly even a misunderstanding of someone's theory repeated so much that it eventually "became" fact. :|
But don't do too much on this - I hope to make it the topic of my Master's thesis. :mrgreen:
