Roman army structure. But it's pretty amazing and more detailed than stuff you read in books.
I seen it now at home pc, its nice but not that detailed, poor books if short clip is more detailed :D It reminds me I need to continue one of my fav little bromance adventure series, called Under the eagle, about two Roman soldiers Cato and Macro, that go through various positions in the legion (one fresh faced promising youngster, and one hard ass centurion). Longest book series I read prolly, 10 books. Light readings. Also most of the reason why I learned alot of details about legions. Most other roman historical fiction I read is mainly about the power players, senators, tribunes etc. Not the soldiers themselves.

Dunno, my friend sent me that link and he was pretty stunned with it (he studies history). He told me it's great and so far (his first year although he has Rome subject) he never read some of those stuff and even he read sources etc. I know you're into such stuff so just wanted to share :D

I took a short break from reading but I started again two days ago, feels really good.

I have taken like 8-9 months break from reading :D I dont know, not as in the mood for it as I used to be. Read 3 books in that time period (when I used to read 2-3 a month, mainly certain genre or series at a time). I blame Netflix lol, I have the netflix app on my cell, and used to get into the mood of reading by skim reading a bit on the train to work, now too lazy to do that and watch some random shit on netflix instead (whole 6 seasons of Archer lol),so gotten out of the habit.

Currently trying to re-read all the Witcher books while playing the Witcher 3 game, last time I read them was like couple days a book, now I'm stuck on the first one last 2 weeks lol.
