Legionaire light infantry

[Tasciavanous]

That is an distinction ultimately derived from Traian's Column. Heavy infantry = legionary, light infantry = auxiliary. But you agree that he is light infantry, on the basis of the oval shield and multiple javelins, do you not? So why do you refuse to consider that a legionary with oval shield and two javelins is or at least might be a light infantryman?

So by your reckoning the figures that are taken to be Auxillia on Trajan's column could/ should be seen as Legionary light infantry?
Fascinating stuff guys thanks
