There are some very nice depictions of a Late Roman baggage train dating to about 400AD in the pen & ink drawings of the COlumn of Theodosius and the column of Arcadius. They show baggage mules, baggage camels, carts and even baggage elephants! (there are also other sources that show Roman baggage elephants, not sure what their role was.
