Can anyone fill me in on the details of how an auxiliary infantry cohort was organized, including the names of the sub-units found within the cohort?
As i understand things, they were pretty much the same as their Legionary counterparts, and the cohort included engineers, artillery, sappers and miners and so on.
The information on auxiliaries i have read so far is somewhat baffling, to be honest! :lol: Some seem to be fairly 'regimental' medium infantry and some seem to be irregular type light infantry/scouts. Is this near the mark? And if it is, i'd like some opinions on the possible differences in organization and/or training.
As we say here "tack i förskott" ( thanks beforehand...)
