From professional point of view, I'm an eternal student - I have already finished a master in Archaeology and now I study bachelor degree GIS - the computer part of everything needed to be an expert on Computer Aplications in Archaeology.
From spiritual point of view, I'm a young child in Christ (converted on Easter 2010, baptised a year later), a pilgrim to Santiago de Compostela (I have been there once and I hope it wasn't the last time), a Catholic and a member of Light-Life Movement.
And about hobbies, I'm a RPG enthusiast and I like hiking and everything I've already mentioned.
Here on SE, I've found a nice place to talk about Christianity, a source of information for my current school and I hope I'll be able to share information about my first field of study too. As a Czech patriot, I also hope my language will find its place here.

How severe were the casualties in ancient/medieval battles? I know there are exceptions from the rule I'm asking about. In a long battle of two armies with good morale determined to win or die, which seems to be the case of Battle of Flodden and many later battles, there could be great casualties without fleeing. Or if one army (or both) manages controlled retreat (most inconclusive battles, like Battle of Meggido between Egyptians and Hittites, 1285 BC), most casualties are in open combat, not while fleeing. What I want is anything that proves or denies the "small casualties before the battle is lost in most battles" pattern. I must agree with Felix. |

How severe were the casualties in ancient/medieval battles? @jbabey: thanks. Essence of my question is whether the statement in the wikipedia article is disputed or agreed with by most historians/ archaeologist/ history reenactors. Find a source or two and it's a perfect answer for me. |

Why were the Merovingians so reviled? What's the question exactly? Why they were deposed? |

Changing troops in first line during battle @FelixGoldberg: it's not what I'm referring to (I was referring to the Gallic War), but it's even better, because it's a case of fatigued/fresh troops management I didn't know about. I'm more interrested in switching fresh/fatigued soldiers within one unit (which is harder to do and less likely to be recorded), but this is good too. |

Changing troops in first line during battle @FelixGoldberg: that's my question - are there any sources? All I have is a long discussion thread in Czech, and perhaps I could find something similar in English (as far as I remember there was something like it on swordforum, but I didn't find it (I haven't been there for years, so either I misremember or it's buried under piles of other topics). |
