This sums it up nicely, for all Militaria collectors!!
This was written by: Juvenal (tenth Satire) in Rome b. circa AD 55-60?
"Man thirsts more for glory than for virtue." Armor of an enemy, his broken helmet, the flag ripped from a conquered trireme, were treasures valued beyond all human riches. It is to obtain these tokens of glory that generals, be they Roman, Greek, or barbarian, brave a thousand perils and endure a thousand exertions."
