Legitimate?
Is this a legitimate article? I have added a category, but am unsure if the Evocati was a real unit, or only existed in the HBO series Rome. Hiberniantears 21:55, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
- It's real. I copied the article from William Smith's A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities here. Ausir 08:11, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
GA Failure
Reason:The entire article reads like a lead paragraph. It doesn't get much further from defining what it is. --SeizureDog 05:14, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
Rank
The article says both that evocati were promoted to centurions and that they could not hold the rank of a centurion. Which is it? --Janus_Coriolanus 09:56, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
- It doesn't say that, actually, it's being ambiguous. The reference quoted just shows that it's not possible for all the evocati under Pompey's command to have been centurions. Thus, although having a higher rank than common legionaries, an evocatus was not always a centurion. 82.92.119.11 22:17, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
