Elizabeth Bower prieš 1 savaitę What a great video… I’ve always been fascinated with Roman history… But what I find really distracting was that every so-called expert was waving their right hand up and down to emphasise what they were saying… It is possible to talk without waving your arms about… Anyway looking forward to the second episode but I’m not signing up because I don’t want to pay

william kennedy prieš 1 savaitę The old Roman military road can be such a lonely road to travel as you head up towards Newcastle. I heard the stories of the 9th being seen marching along that road but i have never witnessed anything of the sort, but its a damn good yarn ! Its a very interesting area to travel through and to stop and look !

TheDr IsZen prieš 2 dienas Got to keep an open mind about this, as there is little record or evidence to go by. But since there were other legions in Britannia (all dealing with various problem tribes), its logical to suspect that at some point it may have been necessary to consolidate legions. It was very costly/difficult to send replacements that far from Rome, so might make sense just to split up the remaining 9th (the worst depleted legion) to quickly bring the others back to full strength. Back in Rome, it may have just seemed a minor bookkeeping oversight. We'll likely never know.
