A sorry death for a visigothic chief!

Normally as a Good Late Roman I have no sympathy for these Visgoths typeS Confusedhock: :oops: :wink: but YIPES!
He who desires peace ,let him prepare for war. He who wants victory, let him train soldiers diligently. No one dares challenge or harm one who he realises will win if he fights. Vegetius, Epitome 3, 1st Century Legionary Thomas Razem
