Expand I have put zero thought into the Dominate Romans in over a year. Dominate Romans are pretty far off for the mod. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yekaterina Posted October 4, 2021 Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 Fire + ranged siege. Diverse infantry and champion cavalry... I suppose greek fire and trebuchet are stronger than regular pyrobolos lithobolos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Me too, but altogether it's weird. What I have seen with that clothing is different. Knowing the Roman mentality, only the high ranking patricians wear Hellenistic armor. The most common is to see germinized or orientalized full armor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion.Kanzen Posted January 31, 2022 Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 representations of late Rome have grown quite a bit. What I have read is that the military change in the third and fourth centuries was very abrupt. even in the reliefs the change of note.

The barbarians that usurped the Western Empire thought of themselves as "Romans" too, carrying on its traditions. The collapse was rather slow though. From the death of Commodus (the end of the "High Empire") to the overthrow of Romulus Augustulus took 280 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
