Hey guys! Sorry for the lack of a post this week – a mixture of teaching, writing and family demands had to come first. Still, so that I don’t leave you to read, there are some things I am reading and seeing that you will know interesting recently.
On YouTube, Todd Workshop’s Toddichachini is conducting some interesting experiences with fire arrows, which is trying to improve a design and formula that performs well using medieval materials. The results are impressive, though indeed. Such a procedure is just a proud ‘can achieve it Can make Thus, instead of ‘worked like the content was available), instead they did it. ‘However, what I find most interesting is how much of their last fire arrows are minor: they are warm and burning for a while, but it’s hard to remember that it has to be very lucky with them to set the wooden target. I don’t think this is a failure of the tid, but in fact a success: he is confirming the usefulness of these weapons, it needs it. Lot Settlement or camp burns of Fire Fire arrows, because not each individual arrow is relatively likely Himself To brighten the fire. But of course an army in the context of a siege that can Keep the arrows of fire Eventually there can be a lot of fire that can be out of control, thus becoming a precious siege tool.
Even on YouTube, I ran on an old video Ship biscuitOften known as hard tech on the ground, which goes through the process of making them and the ways you can eat them. Romans also had a similar campaign meal, called Buucellatum It seems like a similar dense, dehydration biscuit (AMM Mac. 18.7.2; ha) Hobbies 5.3, Pesc. Neg. 10.4; Caby of Democracy IUST. 12.37.1; cf. Old sources ‘Ready Ration’ that can be the same, Livy 21.49.7-8, 34.12.6, 37.37.5; Front strat. 4.1.1). An army can be prepared before March to move to areas without any goods or move faster for a while without needing fodder, as they will maintain – so they were used in the early modern war. By removing all the water mainly in the baking process, such as Hardetic One Tall Pack a lot of calories in a small package without spoiling time (decades) and relatively. Of course, they are not hungry, so being able to force their soldiers to eat hard -tech was a kind of discipline themselves.
We also had also reported an interesting archaeological search outside Austria, Austria, which appears to be about 150 150 Roman soldiers at the end of the first century. We do not yet have a preliminary press announcement, but in detail, from the diagnosis, it is the battlefield of the defeated unit by the enemy (perhaps locals). 150 is a strange number of. We will probably expect that such a large patrol will be done with a harmony (480 men), while 150 is very high for a century (80 men). My initial guess may be that it was actually a group that was lost in the fight that he lost – probably a ambush – mostly escapes or withdraws (but with heavy casualties), while the fathers looted and quickly buried their male flocks.
Also worth noting for your ancient new and updates, we have a new Incomplete paste At the end of September, an article and interesting links about monsters and monster people in ancient and medieval thinking is normal.
Finally, I have asked more than some people, looking at my talk about US civilian military relations, what I thought about the recent General Officer’s All -Call Meeting in Quantico, which I came to call Quantico’s notoriety, which I assume that I answer this question. I am working on a piece of it on it (not for the blog, for anywhere else) but in the meantime I thought both Corey Shake had taken Foreign policy (Sorry, pay -wadd) and Allen Elrodes AT Liberal streams Was both good in expressing that the content of this meeting was so disturbing and dangerous and that two and a half of the successful civil -military traditions such a clear and open violation? I will also include that for an army, which, for the past 165 years, distinguishes its wars by winning its wars through high logistics, as a wonderful history of ultra-massive ‘strong men’ (logistics, organizations and bureaucrats as a wonderful history. The United States military has spent more than the last century and is riding the floor with the troops of the man, whether it be the southern Shulery flower or the Nazi Ermanshin. Where it has failed (Afghanistan, Vietnam) he is not fighting the forces of physical makers, but rough, foreign, foreign -supported forces that are ready to be strategically and politically flexible, such as waiting for a small boxer to be ‘waiting for themselves to punch themselves.’
Finally, a poem, Margaret Atod’s, “the isolation of the military historian.” A quote (read all things):
My trade is courage and oppression.
I look at them and do not condemn.
I write like the way I happened,
As close as you can.
I don’t ask Why?Because it is mostly the same.
Wars occur because those who start them
Looks like they can win.
[…]
But there is no point in asking for a final statement from me.
As I say, I deal in tactics.
Statistics too:
Four sleeping for every year of peace
Year of war.
And now that’s all. Back next week for more information about farmer women’s labor! The picture of some cats to close us is:
