The Centurion and his horse questions.

[PhilusEstilius]

I think we can say that Decurians ride horses and Centurians walked with their 80 men, I repeat walked for no way would anyone march left right left right over a 10 mile hike and this would allow the Centurian to beat the guys who fall behind.

Then as far as maybe the Scutum a Centurian would have this would be carried by his slave, for most would have a slave to do the cooking keep their accomadation clean and of course look after his kit ( maybe the slave had a Mule for most certainly a Centurian had a whole load of Gear to be carried )

I also still think the guy we see on that grave stelae is infact a Tribune and not a Centurian as somone has mistakenly stated.
