I have only some doubts about vocabulary used here:
castra, -orum --> a camp, encampment (rather not "bivouac" )
and I don't like "the general" here...
dux, ducis (1) a guide, conductor. (2) a leader, ruler, commander.
I would choose here "commander"
My warm greetings!

Maybe bivouac is too modern the word camp is OK. | | | 9 Dezembro 2009 17:51 | | | Not so modern as we simply can't say "soldier bivouac" and the sentence makes reference to "soldier (military) camps", that were used to be set up by Roman Army near to battlefields. | | | 9 Dezembro 2009 18:05 | | | I apologize, jedi. I was wrong. Look:
bivouac definition
I simply haven't met the word in this sens before. So, "bivouac" is ok. | | | 10 Dezembro 2009 08:35 | | | No problem. Since I used a latin-french dictionary first in order to understand the sentence, an then I translated to English. | | | 10 Dezembro 2009 08:42 | | | He,he, it is normal. I also translate everything into Polish (in my mind) and just then into other languages... We think in our mother language. That's natural. |
