I just started watching, so I can't really give a fair assessment yet. But the series about Julius Caesar begins with a scene showing him as a 19-year-old army recruit fighting in a pitched battle as an infantryman. I know that he rose through the ranks, but wouldn't a young man of his background have enlisted as a cavalryman? His family was out of favor during Sulla's reign, but weren't they still relatively wealthy?
