Yes.

1 LAR battalion with enough JP8, 25mm HE, rip its, pourn and dip could do it.
Arrive in a recently conquered area and seek to rally and lead a major insurrection with the Marines providing the edge....(And if you can't get ammo resupply take modern highpowered bows or crossbows at least as arrows would be manufacturable, swords and shields might also be useful just in case it drags out).
(Kevlar covered shields and your most sharpest available modern steel blades)
ugh...I hate those discussions...reminds me of this idiot:

100 Marines, 50 Airman. Bite me.
Why is there a (s) on the end of Marine, it will only take one.
To bone the Vestal Virgins and burn down the Colosseum perhaps.
LOL! Caught me drinking again have you. Talk tomorrow.Originally Posted by Hollis
you need some soldiers, Rome needs to be "policed" for the next 15 years
One demonstration shot per Legion? 'We are messengers from the Gods blah blah blah Truth Democracy ect ect Cremate that dead Legate our sniper just killed and then fall in behind us as we march on Rome' Result the republic is restored, no further Civil wars occur, the Roman Republic survives in control of the whole of Western Europe Asia Minor North Africa and probably adds on extra bits, continues to exist and the Americas when discovered are Provinces of the Senate and People of Rome........So there is no United States Marine Corp to travel back in time and....eh?
One demonstration shot. Of HE 25mm. Per phalanx.
What if some of those Marines have ancestors who were legionnaires during that time period? It'd be interesting to see how the grandfather paradox plays out in that scenario.
Probably a Moderator Marine from mp.net. He's old enough to have seen Rome burn...
More importantly, who would win a bare knuckle cage fight between Chesty Puller and Julius Caesar?
