what was the function of the Roman cavalry?
#13
yes I agree with that. A charge is only possible imho if the infantry is broken or in open ranks simply because the horses would not run into any closed obstacle. Here the question is the discipline of the infantry. If they get scared already by approaching cavalry and break BEFORE they are done. if they stay together the cavalry will have to abort the charge.
