    If I remember correctly, Plutarch never says Cato actually fought as a common soldier. in fact I think the mentions that Cato was remarkable for only bring one servant with him. Also Plutarch says his great-grandfather lost 5 horses out from under him, so at that time at least Cato's family was of the equestrian class. He was certainly humble for a Roman aristocrat, but he does seem to have been at least a backcountry elite of some sort, having the renowned Manius Curius as patron. Poor and common relative to the great aristocratic families of Rome, but not a yeoman.

    ROFL Dayve... all he wanted to know was why Pontus cant build roads. Perhaps thats why their generals are depressed and dejected; they all have brought up the topic once or twice before about the roads to the pontus hierarchy, with the result being of them changing the subject to something else. politics politics.. tisk tisk

    Yes, you kind of get the idea that the EB team is too interested in spamming to actually answer the guy's original question.

    If I was smart, I would have a witty punchline in this sig that would make everyone ROTFL.

    I'm not smart.

    I've answered it elsewhere, and recently. Pontus will get second level roads. And Hayasdan will too. And the Aedui. And the Arverni.

    I have a question! *raises hand*

    What is the evidence for Gallic paved roads?

    Thanks!

    Our Gallic man in the street is actually in the street right now (in Ireland), so it may be a bit before you get a good answer for it.
