Did you notice that next to the centurion question, for which they marked eighty men as incorrect, was a link to a website that could help.
The first thing I noticed on the site, apart from Chris Haines' face, was the fact that a centurio was in command of EIGHTY men. It seems that the people who marked the test did not bother to read the helpful information themselves. :lol:

Okay, official Quartermaster exchange of equipment:
Centurion Susanne:
one(1) piece of fence for one(1) sanguine spatha
Attention to orders, Centurion Susanne has her official deity hereby changed form Odin to Jupiter/Zeus. This is in keeping with the finest traditions of the Roman Army.

That was an interesting quiz, but I, along with everyone else, missed the Centurion question. I can explicitly remember reading in Goldsworthy's
Roman Army at War that the total strength of cohorts 2-10 was 480 men, under the supervision of 6 centurions...if I do the math correctly that means 80 men under each centurions command. Right? I guess someone should alert the maker that specifing the "type" of legion, cohort or maniple, might be a little helpful.
Optio and Susanne...make that 3 (although currently I just have a wooden gladius, the real thing is coming this summer)
.
Thanks for the quiz Tarbicus.
