Possible roman empire counterpart in redwall

[clunylooney]

I feel as though the Thousand Eye Army is kind of inspired by the roman army. They all have very roman looking armor and they go on patrols just like romans. They certainly aren't as effective or as large as the roman army, but they definitely have aspects of roman in them.

Well I mean lol, most armies did send out regular patrols
Where do you remember seeing roman like armor? Might be interesting to look into

I just love the book series Asterix so when I think of armies that go on patrol I remember the romans from Asterix. In Asterix, you have romans invading houses looking for the Gauls and in Mossflower you have a similar thing except they are just stealing food. As for the armor, on the redwall wiki there is a picture on the page about the thousand eye army where they have armor that resembles that of roman armor:

Well I mean forceful entrance and manipulation, for lack of a better word, was pretty universal

Most character in the Redwall series are based of things in BJ's life, so it is very likely that some things were based off the Roman empire.
