"The horsemen of the ala milliaria rode around around the wings of the infantry, nearly colliding with the ala dextra. Luckily, the lead turmae reigned in, turned and veering off further away, following the path of the Roman Ala quingenaria already in pursuit of the Gallic ala" :o
Even more confusing I think is the use of Ala as it not only refers to different sized cavalry units from any nation aligned with the Romans but also to a grouping of Latin/Italian Socii infantry operating in size, equipment, and organization near identically to the Roman Legion. So fictional novel-wise, my opinion is to not even use that word.
