The Abandonment of the Gladius for the Spatha - Why?
no tarbicus i dont, i try not to but hollywood has happened to the martial arts and brought much ridiculousness down on something sacred to me, the same of rome really. in anycase its always a fight to make people see the virtues of true bujustsu and bushido

and i know rome had a code of sorts, i could do to learn more of it, more of a great many things surely, but i was refering to western as more modern western, since the death blow delt of the modern era that seems to have chivalry on its knees reaching for its blade, only a few modern adherents practice...or live, as i prefer to state it, a "martial" way

always a good conversation here, i so love RAT
