    I recall reading some Roman bigwig (a Sparta fanboy, natch) up and raised a legion from Sparta, naturally kitted them out with Roman war gear, and armed them with clubs for the whole Herakles connection thingy. This is probably the same bunch, as I'm pretty sure the entry referred to a grave stele a lot like the OP describes.

    Rich men have strange hobbies. Don't remember what happened to the unit, but in any case as the presence of the LS rather strongly suggests it was rather out of the EB timeframe anyway.

    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

    Rich people and their eccentricities are great. Wasn't Sparta also a Roman vacation spot, and Romans would come and watch Spartans do their thing?


    Also didn't Severus raise Phalangists from Macedon?

    speaking of which, how will they make the shield pattern for the spartiatai identical?-that is all lambda's? or did they revert to usage of individual heraldic (yeah I know-no better word) markings?

    Funniest thing all day.

    I don't come here a lot any more. You know why? Because you suck. That's right, I'm talking to you. Your annoying attitude, bad grammar, illogical arguments, false beliefs and pathetic attempts at humour have driven me and many other nice people from this forum. You should feel ashamed. Report here at once to recieve your punishment. Scumbag.
