Quote:If memory serves Gallienus consolidated the cavalry units of the legions into separate bodies for use as strategic or operational reserves.See Ancient Warfare magazine II.6 (Dec/Jan 2009), pp. 8-11 ("Coinage and cavalry: The sources for Gallienus and his equites"), for a more critical view. :wink: Quote:Robert, as a quick aside, just how many sources before Vegetius give a tent party of eight men?One? |
