2nd Legion – The Eagles of Rome

Men the World over know of our great Roman Republic. They know the names of the great ones who forged it with cold steel. They know the names of our Generals, or Consuls, our Heroes. They know our great victories and our crushing defeats.

But those who are so often forgotten are the men themselves. The very men on whom victory lies. The very men on whom our Republic has come to rely.

The very men, whose stories are never told.

Until now.

Welcome to 2nd Legion – The Eagles of Rome. Anyone who read my old AAR (which can be found here: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=80061 ) will tell you that it is a first person narrative, written in the form of letters. It concentrates on one man who is followed through his entire 16 years of service.

I will try to update this about every week, but I may be unable to at first, because I start my final school exams on Friday. They are all done in a few weeks though, and then I will have much more free time.

Also I would like to note something about naming conventions. Only Patricians will be given the Nomen, which I believe is as it should be. In addition, I will be substituting the "u" in any name for a "v", but when it is spoken I shall revert to the "u".
