You're welcome Blingo. I do wish all the items mentioned in these articles could have an image or at least a link, I've lost track of how many objects I've read about as sensational or even interesting but never seen.
Glad I found the right image of the bow, I'd not have recognised it in a million years, it was the translated text that gave me a small clue. I'd guess the archers in those days would be the same as now, most good, some better and a few exceptional, despite the need for self-preservation.
Oh those pesky Romans...non illegitimus carborundum ;-)
