Perhaps greater than you'd expect, if lsb had read the other post.

I hadn't read it, but that's interesting that Patton knew Roman history! (I have a master's in Latin and Greek.)

I would think any general would be versed in Roman history...

Especially one who believed he fought the Romans at Carthage.

Patton was Hannibal?

He believed that he had been reincarnated and died in battle a number of times and what have you. Not necessarily as a general, though.
