I don't want to de-rail the thread, but also don't just want to start a new thread for one aspect when now perhaps the query belongs here......
How many 'supporters'/servants/slaves are we possibly suggesting? Because Polybius and (Ps-)Hyginus have been part of my particular recent study - I would just note that in neither of their camp designs (otherwise covered in a lot of detail) mention anywhere for lots of 'extras'. Hyginus, for all his possible faults, mentions spare horses, but allocates no space to 'extras'.
Consul's & Tribunes will have space for some - but within the century/maniple's lines?
