Abyssus, I'm Adrian Celtica of the Gaul. It's been a decade since Caeser and Rome conquered us, but I still remember that one-sided war well. We lost battle after battle and were defeated almost every point. The only real resistence against the Romans is up at Hadrians Wall which I believe is still standing only because Rome is busy elsewhere. I do remember once me and my tribe came upon an abandoned roman fort. It was the most enlightening experience I've known and will ever know. It was the first time I had contact with Roman culture on anywhere other than a battlefield. It was then I realized we had never had a chance in this war. From the battlefield I already knew that the Romans were much better equipped than us. Where we had just a shield and a leather helmet, they have metal body armor they call lorica, a square shield or scutum, and a metal helmet called a cassis. They fought in a disciplined manner unlike our wild attacks lead by a hero. Their thrusts with their gladius beat or crazy slashes with our longswords. When we throw our spiraled javilens they just come right back at us. The Romans spears, or pilums, that we laughed at because of how weak it was, broke on impact so we couldn't throw them back. Even though we had all those disadvantages I believed that eventually we would find the power to strike back and win the war. That all changed when we found the fort.
