How is respect shown to the Martyrs of Rome by the Army?

Answer 1

This is a very strange question. Which martyrs of Rome? Whose Army? When?

Answer 2

Which army are you referring to?


I know that dying for one's cause was not a Christian prerogative: the Ancient Romans themselves before the period of Christ had traditions of self sacrifice for common causes.

One such example was the belief that if a general sacrificed himself to "Jupiter, Mars, the Earth and the Infernal Gods" he would ensure that the misadventures and misfortunes which were assailing himself and his soldiers would be thrown over to the enemies. A concrete example of this is given to us by the Roman family of the Decii of whom the grandfather, father and son all sacrificed themselves for the good of their armies, the first at war with the Latins, the second against the Etruscans and the son in the war against Pyrrhus. In all three cases the battles and wars were won against the odds.

I'll think on and if you have any further details please let me know.
