Nono. I'm afraid I'm not half the man the Legion takes. I was only along as an architect to assist Emperor Hadrian. I constructed fortifications, helped with some siege weapons, and eventually constructed a bathhouse for the troops to recuperate within.

[He shakes his head dismissively of these accomplishments though.]

These pale compared to the works the brave soldiers themselves though. While they fought and died on the frontlines I went to sleep in the comfort of the camp every night and never truly had to fear for my safety. I was, in essence, a witness to war rather than a participant.
