SALVETE OMNES,
I would like to initiate a new topic (in fact my very first topic in this forum) about the part played by de tribunes of the republican legion in combat operations. Most modern authors define the duties of the tribunes as chiefly administrative ( training, financial, discipline, logistics, and so on..) but often their tasks in combat are relegated to a secundary role. Nevertheless in some instances they seem to have assumed a more active part in leading legionary units in the front line. I would be very grateful to all who would want to contribute their knowledge on this subject and maybe bring new light to this poor ignorant....
Thank you
Toni
