Underuse of cavalry in the roman army
#4
May I ask you to elaborate a little please?

Under use in what way? Tactical restraints or strategic restraints? Not enough deployed, or not enough recorded as being deployed?

Sometimes you have to look at the terrain and the conditions of a campaign to decide whether a lack of cavalry was actually a good thing in logistical terms as opposed to a tactical/strategic decision.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!
