    I'll watch this when I have further time - but the time frame is Imperial, right?
    "Romans not only easily conquered those who fought by cutting, but mocked them too. For the cut, even delivered with force, frequently does not kill, when the vital parts are protected by equipment and bone. On the contrary, a point brought to bear is fatal at two inches; for it is necessary that whatever vital parts it penetrates, it is immersed. Next, when a cut is delivered, the right arm and flank are exposed. However, the point is delivered with the cover of the body and wounds the enemy before he sees it."

    - Flavius Vegetius Renatus (in Epitoma Rei Militari, ca. 390)

    Yes. First part of video1, shows you the roman camp (preparation to battle), the second part of video1, is the marching and the battle against barbarii (mutatio included)

    Well I was only interested in the time frame, for by the looks it has to be Imperial. If it's about Caesar's legions wearing that kind of armour and helmets then I'll give up straight away .

    Yes, indeed.
