Salve,
I'm a newcomer here and I have to say, it is gratifying to be amongst fellow ancient military enthusiasts. The topic I put forward is; legionary training. I plan to, over the next few months, go through the training that a legionary of ancient Rome would have to endure. I have gone over most of the details and sifted through historical accounts, but one detail escapes me. I have only a vague idea of what I must do to correctly train with a gladius and a scutum shield. So I ask you; what is the correct way to train with a gladius and shield? What techniques must I learn and what methods?
Bene facis,
Marius Aquilinus
