Quote:I take it, then, that you have no reference for Gothic cavalry charging Roman infantry after all? ;-)Quote:Advance warning: there is actually no account of this battle that described what happened in detailUnfortunately this is true for majority of accounts of Ancient battles.
Quote:So... Maybe let's better stick to accounts from the 17th century... They are more detailed.But far less interesting because they lack (in many cases) the opportunity of direct comparison. Winged Hussars are no Roman cavalry, massed pikemen are no Roman infantry.
