Salvete,
Does anyone have any info on Menapian auxiliaries? Did they exist? Where were they stationed?

Talking about Menapians.. could the Buggenum Montefortino have been lost when CAESAR went to the Menapians during the Bello Gallico?
i have not yet read that they supplied cavalry during his time, but i might be wrong... M.VIB.M.

It could, but I believe that general model is (supposed to be) a little later/younger. Isn't is the Mannheim type period?

I am not sure.... i have seen it in the Roermond museum, and doubt the general thesis a little... since in my view it could have been the main route Caesar's legion took....
sadly we'll never know 4 sure.... M.VIB.M.
