Quote:Everyone keeps banging on at poor old Vegetius as being mistaken. Fact is his figures about how far a legion can march in a day turn out to be bang on right.

It seems to me that those who question his writings need to come up with some cold, hard facts of their own to the nnnn-th detail.


Go read the quote again before attacking me...

he clearly uses names usually used for auxiliary units and their setup reflects this as well.

he says the first cohort is called miliaria and consists of 1105 infantry and 132 armoured cavalry and the other cohorts consist of 555 soldiers plus 66 cavalry EACH. He's talking about cohortes equitatae.
