A pathbreaking study that integrates military theory with the historical account to explain how the Roman armies functioned, triumphed, and ultimately failed.The story of Rome and its military seems a familiar one, told often through books and movies and games, yet it is a modern myth obscuring a different reality. As this groundbreaking study demonstrates, Rome’s military was no war machine made up of mindless cogs. There was not even an ancient term for the Roman army; rather, Romans spoke o

Question by Lisa: what was the difference between a wealthy Roman and a poor Roman in Ancient Rome history?
I wanted to know, what were the differences between the wealthy Romans (patrician) and a poor Roman (plebeian)? What could a patrician do that a plebeian couldn’t? I can’t seem to find all the info I want or need and I want to learn about Life in Ancient Rome. Please help!

Answer by Swissman
What mainly separated the two was political life. Patricians were the senator class; only they can act as consuls. They ruled Rome and were extremely wealthy. Their social and economic status came from the lots of land they owned.
Plebeians were from all stratums of society. Some of them were very rich but were disbarred from political life when the Etruscans were overthrown (since they were Etruscan themselves) on 508 B.C. The plebians soon after started electing a tribune as their leader. For them they had the same prestige as a consul (there were two consuls during the Republic; they were the highest political seats and acted as kings but were elected, like presidents if you will). The number of tribunes increased to ten some time during the fifth century and politically they became very respected figures and there were laws that protected them as being sacred and should not be harmed. The tribunes were the leaders at the popular assemblies (these assemblies were where the laws were passed during the monarchic and Republic period). The plebians soon started being granted political power when they threatened to secede (stop fighting for Rome) and Roman enemies were at her gates. This technique worked great. By 376 BC the Sextian laws were passed which stated from then on a plebian can be consul but will be called a military tribune instead of consul. The law made it that one consul position was reserved for plebians to vote for the tribune they wished to be consul.

I’m planning to wear a blunt Roman metal sword as part of a Halloween costume which will be conspicuosly hung by a belt in a scabbard. Looking at the laws I could find in NY state, I did not see this as an “illegal” weapon as defined by the statutes I could find, since the focus was primarily on concealed firearms. Also, this will be conspicuously displayed and not used in a threatening manner against anyone.

Should I print out a section of the statute just in case I get approached by the police? (I’ll be in NY City). Also, if I did not wear it in public, but only in private parties, would that make a difference? If I transported it in a bag or vehicle, would would those implications be?

Thanks so much!!

Not sure about NY….but I’d suggest you transport it in your trunk (might do a number on the leather if you attempted to sit in the car with it…Ha). If you are going to a private party, I wouldn’t worry too much about it. I would make sure it remains secured in the scabbard at all times so some drunk idiot doesn’t start playing gladiator with it (that includes you….Haa JK).

I’m sure the NYPD will have plenty going on on Halloween and won’t be on the look out for Centurion costumes with real swords.

I wouldn’t carry it in a bag….that looks suspicious….I would think it was a rifle if it was in a bag.

Question by MIkey D: What roman sword has a hook on the end of the blade? approximately 19 inches long and very sharp double edged.?

Best answer:

Answer by Mook
Not sure of a Roman one. What about:

Falchion swords are a one-handed, single-edged sword of European origin, whose design is reminiscent of the Persian scimitar and the Chinese Doa. This weapon combines the weight and power of an axe with the versatility of a sword. Falchions are found in different forms from around the 11th century up to and including the sixteenth century. 22 inch blade which has a curve at the end.
