@Setanta,
That's right, they did. Given the amount of ignorant bullshit you post continuously at this site, you've got a gall to dispute anyone else. Clown.

Yes I surely do however the fact remain that just because some writer claimed a few hundred years later that they fought like animals and was naked does not mean that they fought like animals or was naked.
Men who fight like animals against a military force such as the Roman legions would die like animals in a very rapid manner. Being naked also when your enemies was armor and in ranks would also not tend to allow you to live a very long life.
An another example of this is when some writer claimed that Jesus bought a long dead man back to life that does not mean that it happen either.
History is full of myths and bullshit claims.
