Trivia

 * The word "Princeps" is singular form of the latin word "Principes" which refered to spearmen, and later swordsmen, in the armies of the early Roman Republic. These people were men in the prime of their lives who were fairly wealthy, and could afford decent equipment. They were also the heavier infantry of the roman legion who carried large shields and wore good quality armour.
