I have some questions concerning the equipment of the Roman legion,
I always thought that at the time of the second Punic war, i have read a few books concerning that certain war, the equipment of the Roman legion and the organization was the standard classical
First line hastati with the list equipment and experience
second line principes, with the lorica hamata the montefortino so on
And the triarii with lances , lorica hamata, the corinthian style italian helmet etc
Ive recently read though that the equipment at the Punic wars was largely the same to all of the troops and it was similar to that of the Principes
Is that true? I mean that i think the equipment and the organization of the army back then was the standard 3 lines, what is the opinion of the Forum?
