The Abandonment of the Gladius for the Spatha - Why?
Don't take anything personally.

Virtus.

The Romans had a code. This outlines it nicely and neatly.

It's been one of the most overlooked and ignored parts of Roman history but is seeing a resurgence in recognition, especially after books like Ghosts and Soldiers came out, which I highly recommend you read, especially by a fireside supping beer :wink:
