The 83 member Facebook group Who Wants To Re-enact a Hoplite Battle On the South Lawn? finally got around to re-enacting their hoplite battle.. though with a few less than 83 people and not on South Lawn. More pictures after the jump.
@Tao's gaelic? Tao – If you’ve read Conquest of Gaul you’d know that V couldn’t really get it on, even when he had Caesar surrounded on both sides. You don’t need Achilles to beat Vercengetorix, you just need seige weapons and good training.
@you missed the point The Roman part wasn’t the important part. Vercingetorix *surrendered*, and then was *strangled*. Achilles was killed by a lucky shot, while he and his fellows were engaged in some serious domination.
@ttan Indeed not. I stole someone else’s equipment. My war equipment consisted of a Viking helmet, Viking shield, and Viking sword. Unfortunately, it was locked in the Classics Department office over the weekend and I forgot my key. Vercengetorix would have whipped Achilles’s ass anyway.
@uhh, I'm not so sure... “The Romans successfully fended off a coordinated attack by Vercengetorix’s army and the relief Gallic army. Vercengetorix surrendered, and was taken to Rome as a prisoner, where 6 years later he was ritually strangled.”
