Quote:.............
Centurions and century level officers perhaps two or three per century
Ordinary Legionaries perhaps 10 per Century
Cavalry as many as one groom per Cavalryman
.........

Whilst some of the others may be open to conjecture - I'm curious about the sources for all those?

Particularly curious about the last one - you don't believe that a Roman Cavalryman looked after his own horse?
