U.S. Army Special Forces veteran Mykel Hawke, a presenter for Discovery Channel, has taken on the role of a Roman Legionnaire as he explores what the soldiers had to march with in this documentary short.
Hawke investigates how it would ”stack up” to today’s military standards; rations, footwear, sword, shield. What does a modern soldier think of the Roman superpower of 1,500 years past?
Naturally this short little documentary is littered with in-game footage of Total War: Rome II, which will be forcing marching its way onto desktops next week, September 3rd.
