Thanks for the link Danno.
Very interesting.
I do agree, that this is not news for many on this site who have done even a modicum of study. The Romans, like the Japanese, took ideas from many places and then made them their own.
For one I welcome this new book/TV show. The more information the better.
Could it be that the only real innovation the Romans gave us was the first truly professional army?
I'm not sure that I agree with that, but I will be interested in reading this book.
