Marvelous work, EB Team.

Absolutely amazing!

IV) Imperium: the offices of Praetor and Consul and the corresponding pro-magistries will be invested with imperium, permitting office holders to legally command Roman armies. Characters who do not have imperium and who attack enemy forces will suffer combat-related penalties.

That will give some great roleplay scenarios!

As for the equipment: I leave that up to the experts.

Who woulda thunkit the Romans would be in EB2?

Great work as always, EB team. The clone armies were over-rated anyways!

Wow, when EB II comes out I will pick the Romani campaign first, I guess. ;o

**Horatius Flaccus** · 08-14-2009, 20:44

Shamelessly stolen from Louis XI on the .net forum:

I. They belong to the Triarii.
II. These swords are respectively, from top to bottom, the Greek Xyphos, the also Greek Kopis and the earlier Gladius Hispaniensis.
III. The round and heavy is the clipeus, the Roman equivalent of the aspis, the oval and big is the Scutum while the round and small is the parma, also parma equestris.
IV. The clipeus belongs mostly to the Triarii, the Scutum belongs to line heavy infantry such as the Principes, while the parma equestris belongs to the Equites and to light skirmisher troops, like the Leves.
V. The helmets from the upper left belong to the Hastati, while the ones from the lower right belong to the Triarii.

Where's our prize ?

If anyone gives the correct answer, the acnowledgements and the prize will be given at the end of the 48 hour term. Any prior judgment (positive or negative) would be unfair to the others that might still wanna play too, isn't it.

BUT, while he might appear correct on all his answers, he might have one, two or all five answers wrong! Take a chance and say your own proposals!

Before me Horatius, but I don't have it from .net
I. agree with Triarii, they are pretty elaborated, show some social status
II. not sure, but some of the upper ones must be true
III. from unit descriptions O Clipeus 0 Scutum o Parma
IV. Triarii, Principes, Leves
V. Hastati, really the same as the first? I say Principes
