Hi everyone, welcome to another episode of ancient warfare answers with me, Murray, your weekly fix of ancient warfare related question answering. Yes. You can ask a question. However, you can get hold of me.

Yell in the street, send me a postcard. You can send us an email Murray at Carvancelri

upublishers.com. You can comment on a previous video or podcast. You can, of course, back us on

Patreon, and there's a forum to get messages through to us there, one of three different levels,

Legionary Optio and Centurion. Now, this question comes from Kellyn Lwood. I have a question.

The Stanley Cup was just handed out last month. This is probably coming out sometime later than

the question was asked. And players from both sides say it takes time. It takes them almost a year

to feel normal again after two months of battling extremely hard.

After battling extremely hard, they play about 20 games during that span.

Each player makes millions of dollars and has their own nutritionist hired.

They eat well and they're at the absolute peak of human fitness.

How did Caesar's legionaries keep up that frenetic pace,

like how did Caesar fight the Bribracti and the Arar in a 58 BC?

I know when a player who's been injured comes back to the end of the playoffs,

he looks noticeably better than usual just because his body hasn't broken down

and become exhausted.

The strength and the determination of ancient peoples will never not fascinate me.

Right.

Thanks, Callan.

Now, I did actually bring this up with someone accidentally when this question came through

and said, ah, the Stanley Cup, and they, obviously their team had lost because their response

when I mentioned the word Stanley Cup was highly negative.
