Yes speculating is OK when discussing this kind of unproven theory. One of the applications of this type of information is in reenactment. Most of us will agree that presenting a reenactment impression should avoid speculative information when at all possible. In this case given the shortage of mounts in the roman reenactment community one probably should not consider mounting a Centurion unless all others that were known to be mounted ( Cavalry, higher ranking officers etc ) were accommodated first. Even then it would probably
be a good idea to explain that this particular Centurion is riding because he is a Senior Centurion, Camp perfect, injured or other known reason and that it was not known whether all Centurions would have a horse on the march.
