Disappearance of velites
#4
Quote:The Imperial army used auxiliaries for light infantry, so I don't think the case is so much that they were phased out of the army as that role was assigned to the auxiliaries

I don't recall if I have seen any depictions of auxiliary infantry armed exactly like a velite, but there are a number of different types depicted on Trajan's Column.
Any pictures available Dan?
