Should 'Tribunes Medicus' in the commissioned officers section be 'tribunus militum'?

<BB<

'A time-served senior Primus Pilus Centurion who had already completed 25 years of service' Is what I ment to say

Medicus often refered to as Tribunes Medicus as it was a rank or post that was approximatly equal to Tribune,
Tribunes Medicus is in the commissioned officers section as it probably should be. However the title Tribunes however is a little vauge posably a conveniance rank that held no field command, but gave sufficent power to over rule the centurians and get the wounded the best treatment.

Is that a clear enough explanation I hope so I was attempting a simplification

Well spotted

Still working my way through – feel free to read through the bits I've done so far (above the scrolling ) and comment on it, letting me know what corrections, changes etc you'd like made. I've only really tweaked and not made too many large changes except to format and I consolidated the cohort bit.

<BB<

Just one

commanded by a senior man, called the Decanus(t). Decanus

The t is not needed.

All looking very good thanks

Well spotted - corrected now

<BB<

Working on the Auxiliary section now…

As a shorter seperate entry

I look forward to seeing that.
Can I ask, are you quoting someone where you've put a sentence in quotation marks, and if so, who? You've written "Traders who scouted the lands. - Legions Who conquered the lands- Merchants Who exploited the lands"

<BB<

I think I've finished now. Just need an answer to the above and then from my point of view it is ready to go once it receives your blessing.

I've not made big changes this time, just a few tweaks really, especially to the number of footnotes.
Would you like to have a thorough read through and let me know if you are happy with what I have done, what tweaks and changes you'd like made etc, or simply ask why I've done what I've done where?

<BB<

Only quoting me so thay can br removed, just trying to emphasize the point.

Okay

So have a thorough read-through and let me know if you're happy with what I've done.

Good job BB
If you have any comments I would be pleased to hear your reasons and keep them in mind for the next time, but everything is fine it is a good edit and thanks for the hard work on a 7631 word entry

Do you think that it should be mentioned that this is scratching the surface of the subject.

If you felt strongly that a sentence stating that this is barely scratching the surface we could include one in the opening paragraph, however I personally don't think it is needed. I'll leave it up to you.

<BB<

Quicl reply It was just a passing thought, upon reflection you are probbably right, leave it

By the way, did you have a suggestion for a picture? A photo of re-enactors etc?

<BB<

I would think a photo of Portchester castle would be apprioate
