Hi all
To chuck a spanner in the works...if the above from Moi is correct then were there the equivilant of "the light and heavy brigades" of the 19th cent British Army Cavalry evident in the Roman Ala?
Or the up until recently, Light Infantry and Infantry in the modern British Army were one and the same, still front line troops fighting as required, with the same equipment,more or less.One just marched quicker than the other as far as i can remember.
Soooo...i have read that some Roman Infantry/Soldiers fought without armour as the specific tactics of a battle required.I do read a lot of rubbish at times so please dont shoot the messenger, i could well be wrong.
