Friendly reminder that the Romans were cuckhold and that Celts were the actual "Roman" soldiers


Ammianus Marcellinus Roman Antiquities, Book 15
>All ages are most fit for military service, and the old man marches out on a campaign with a courage equal to that of the man in the prime of life; since his limbs are toughened by cold and constant toil, and he will make light of many formidable dangers. Nor does anyone of them, for dread of the service of Mars(war), cut off his thumb, as in Italy:93 there they call such men "murci," or cowards. 4 It is a race greedy for wine, devising numerous drinks similar to wine, and some among them of the baser sort, with wits dulled by continual drunkenness (which Cato's saying pronounced a voluntary kind of madness) rush about in aimless revels, so that those words seem true which Cicero spoke when defending Fonteius:94 "The Gauls henceforth will drink wine mixed with water, which they once thought poison."

Ammianus Marcellinus Roman Antiquities, Book 20
>Excited by these and similar exploits, and fearing that their fame would grow greater, urged on besides, as was reported, by the prefect Florentius,34 he sent Decentius, the tribune and secretary, at once to take from Julian his auxiliaries, namely, the Aeruli and Batavi35 and the Celts with the Petulantes,36 as well as three hundred picked men from each of the other divisions37 of the army; and he ordered him to hasten their march under the pretext that they might be able to be on hand for an attack on the Parthians early in the spring.38
