<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1938602, member: 26302&quot;]I have no idea where his citation would be. Like I said, in periods of open warfare between rival emperors sometimes an army would pillage a conquered Roman city, but that had nothing to do with pensions. It was rewarding soldiers for capturing the city. However, most of the time it was prevented, since it would cost the emperor support of the Roman cities.</p><p><br /></p><p>That is the problem with reading history from someone trying to make a modern point. You do not know if you can trust their history. I admit I am not a true expert in Roman history, many on the ancient section are more well versed than I. My specialty is more central asia, but I know enough of the Roman Empire to know the general jist. Just don&#039;t ask me to name all of the emperors, I only know about 3/4G of them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
