Thanks for the chapter!

Every time I read this manga the first thing in my mind is about how I really want to play aoe2 even tho I suck at it

 

[JamesHenderson1065]

DAMN ROMANS.

 

[Vincentius]

Is this the first time we've gotten a full body shot of Condotti-san? I honestly can't remember, but either way, who knew a brigandine and ankle-length skirt could look so good.

 

[Groomp]

What a bunch of good kids.

 

[Amarrez]

Such good kids...

 

[GabrielH]

accursed romans! btw, where's the sister

 

[BCS]

I don't think there's a single thing about Spartans in this chapter that is historically accurate

 

[Grimmycoffee]

...everyone seems to have pillaging attribute here. Probably accurate though.


@BCS I don't know how powerful spartans are in action, but the collectivism thing (maybe not "throw children to die" part) is an actual thing

 

[GrizzlyBurr]

@BCS
@Grimmycoffee
The Spartans most definitely did kill off weak children. Newborn children were inspected by elders and if any deformity was found they would be killed. Moreover that's not even a particularly unique thing for the Spartans, the ancient world was brutal.

Who next? Please Roman-chan

 

[Panzercracker]

@BCS so what Spartan look like to you?

>must be her italian bloods kickin'
ey

 

[tamago313]

why the Roman legions using spears instead of swords? You know, Gladius?

 

[nightwatch25]

Everybody gangsta until the Roman legionaries show up

 

[JKLO]

@tamago313 I think those are 'pila'. They threw them before charging.

 

[Gaze]

Huh, I didn't know 'polis' had a plural form, I've been wrong for so long...

 

[Panzercracker]

@JKLO Those are not pila, a pilum has different shape. Those are hastae, many Roman units in the eastern front re-adopted hasta (spear) to counter the nomad cavalry.

 

[pdonk]

I love this series.

@tamago313 Spears are superior in a formation and warfare in general.
Most medieval-history nerds will say this and the author is an medieval-history nerd.
