what was the function of the Roman cavalry?
I am not a horseman, but I am curious about the idea of putting two men on a horse for long distance travel. I can understand doing this for a short period of time, but I would think that burdening the horse for a long period could injure the animal.

The second rider woudl have to sit over the loins (area behind the saddle) a very tender area.
