Caesar\'s Auxillaries

[JRSCline]

I disagree somewhat, insofar as "mentioning" goes. In the <em>Gallic War</em>, Caesar spends many pages relating his problems with forward logistics, his resourcing of corn, his dispatch of forage parties, winter quartering, etc. One of the remarkable (and underappreciated) achievements of Caesar's campaign is how successfully he was able to operate in unfamiliar territory and unsupplied (or at best, minimally supplied) conditions.<br>
