Ditto, though on different grounds; IÂ was a bit surprised to see this thread when it first appeared, since much of what I put online is not worth any particular notice on a Roman army board: obscure churches in Umbria, Plutarch's Life of Demosthenes, etc.; and, IÂ say it of course without any invidiousness, some of Jona's forays into Babylonian seals and so on seem a bit of a reach here as well....
But while not in my estimation meriting top-stickiness, the thread is useful, and despite my own long vacation from strictly Roman stuff, however, the occasional reader of this thread shouldn't despair altogether: there are endless mines of things still on their way, and some of them — promise! — will have a bearing on the Roman army. I continue to be very surprised, in fact, by what is not yet online; and only slightly less surprised how few people are working to fill these great gaping holes.
