Quote:This started with the discussion that there is an increase in calvary, not just in number, but also in its role and importance in the Late Roman Army. Then the discussion moved, suggesting that the calvary could not have been very significant after all. I think that that's an inherently counter-intuitive response. Instead of trying to think of why the calvary couldn't work, we should think of ways how it could have worked, since its obvious that they made that change. I'm just offering speculation as to how that could have happened.
Travis is right, we have moved from the original discussion. People, I love this thread but may i suggest that if we continue this cavalry discussion we open a new one?
