"And the wagons?"
I don't think the regular squaddies would have had the use of wagons and would have had to do with their own marching packs and what they could get away with adding to their increasingly rebellious and stubborn mule. I think centuriones and above probably had access to wagons possibly pulled by either mules or oxen. The army on the march would also require wagons to transport artillery, spare weapons, metal supplies and foodstuffs for issue to soldiers.
Sorry to take this so far OT.
