Hi
I'm writing a novel set in part in the Roman Empire army, during the Marcomannic wars. I've searched this site and found links to novaroma site and their excellent articles on tria nomina which has really helped me naming my main characters who are Roman officers.
The problem is that I really need a name for a character who is the leader of a force of about 300 cavalry that are attached to the legion. I was thinking Gaulish, but that's not integral to the plot, anywhere that supplied auxillary cavalry in the right time period will do me!
Thanks
Graham
