Today I had to apply 10 lashes to a new recruit, I do not enjoy such activities but failure cannot be tolerated.
The recruit failed in defending a caravan on route to deliver the finest crystal tunic to the Tribune, not that the toga lifting high nosed...
anyway.
On inspection the recruit was not to blame for failing to fend off those tattoo skinned barbarians it was a faulty weapon!
the last 6 of my recruits have been issued the poorest of quality threads and a Gladius of such a design that it holds no killing power even when thrust by a hardened veteran like myself.
I suggest you get in touch with your blacksmiths back at the capital and put haste to creating the fine quality Gladius we are used to wielding.
send them via convoy and ill issue a full detachment to ensure they arrive intact.
