[QUOTE="SHARK, post: 298850, member: 1131"] Greetings! Chapter XI: The Battle of Pharsalus "What hopes for victory, Gaius Crastinus? What grounds for encouragement?" said Caesar to the Centurion. The hardened, veteran centurion answered-- "You will conquer gloriously today." This I can see--almost like Patton talking to his men as he advances to the front of the battlefield. Caesar, for all of his glory, his arrogance, and his immense personal power and authority, seems to maintain a warm, friendly, even fatherly relationship with his soldiers. At the end of the day, they are largely fanatically loyal to him, and it becomes apparent why. The centurion marches onward! The Centurions are so critically important to the entire Roman Legion--indeed, they are the very spine, the very glue that forges it together. Semper Fidelis, SHARK [/QUOTE]
