I plan to do A275, reading Classical Greek next year. I would like to take the time before then to do some prep work. Could someone point me in the direction of suitable material. I have already completed an ou degree, the bulk of which was in classics. Any advice welcome, languages were never my strong point.
Hi David,

Hope it helps.

Great game, but in Germania your "auxiliary" is dressed as a legionary! If he's an auxiliary he should have an oval shield and would probably have a mail or scale armour rather than lorica segmentata!
Hi Caroline,
I've passed your observation onto the team who will take a look for you.
Many thanks for letting us know.
Best wishes
