Hello Gentlemen,
I would be interested in finding out more about extraordinarii.
Are there any articles or publications that deal with this subject?
It seems that they were something similar to the silver shields, a kind of unit for special, dangerous tasks?
Were there roman extraordinarii? Or were they always recruited from the Italian allies of Rome? if yes, why?
Wouldn't be the roman keen to recruit the elite for the most dangerous tasks from the Roman ranks?
What armor would this troops use?
