"Non-combatants" in late Republic legions
#1
Since this forum is probably the best place to ask (Big Grin), what was the status of non-combatant personnel in Roman Legion after Marian reforms ?

There seemed to be quite a good number of those in legion, so what was their status ? They obviously took care of baggage train, baggage animals etc. and provided lot of functions that supply troops do nowadays.

Were they Roman citizens ? Latin rights ? Slaves ?

Any good sources and references about them ?
