On this trip I learned so much about the Roman's. Most of you will be bored sick of upcoming posts. Tons of fact from British have met on board the ship. A lady that is member of the British historical trust. A brilliant tour that is an historian.
First a Roman foot soldier had to be a minimum of 5'8" tall. A cavalry man had to 6' minimum height. There goes the theory that the Roman's were short guys with curling black hair. Currently I can't post pixs because of limited band with.
I remember reading at the Smithsonian that the average Roman male was something like 5'-5". The Legionaries must have stood out like monsters among the commoners.
