Engineering the Empire

The Roman Army built far more than it destroyed

Caius Vitruvius Firmus

Chief Engineer, LEG VI FFC

Caius Vitruvius Firmus is a man of few words... but once he sends some, we will post them here.  LEG VI FFC is proud to boast a genuine Roman Engineer now amoung its ranks!  Planning has begun on the Aquaduct.  Great job on the crane and other engineering models!  Truly an asset to the furthering of education.  Like the US Military today, the Romans built FAR more than they destroyed.  Firmus is dedicated to recreating some of those tools for you to see close up.  Enjoy our newest impression!  Way to go Kent!
