Option 1

 * Article title Immunes
 * Article Evaluation There is little written about the people of the Roman military that were instrumental in building the defenses and camps along the borders of the empire. I think that there is a lot more to be said about how these individuals received training and what their background and origin were.

Option 2

 * Article title Contubernium
 * Article Evaluation Once again there is little discussed when it comes to the Roman military on its smallest level. These ancient squads made up the larger Legion that is all well known. There was a command structure that is looked over and they do not put any emphasis on why everything was set up in this fashion.

Option 3

 * Article title Iberian war
 * Article Evaluation This article describes the actions of the war and the people that fought them well, but it lacks the reasoning behind much of what was happening at the time in Constantinople. It also does not delve into the signifiganceof the individual battles as well as it could.

Option 4

 * Article title Theodore the Varangian and his son John
 * Article Evaluation For the significance of these two people, there is very little contributed to the context of the Death of the martyrs and what they meant for Russia. The article skips over a great deal of Theodore's life and what he may have observed in his time in service in the Varangian Guard. They also do not mention the importance of his death to the ruler, Vladimir, or to the development of the Eastern orthodox church in Russia.

Option 5

 * Article title Vladimir the great
 * Article Evaluation This article does a decent enough job speaking on how the Nordic people arrived n Rus' and came to power, but it lacks the context and relationships that he had with other rulers and the decisions he made.
