Is it right that Roman army was accompanied by the herds of cattle, which were used not for food, but for sex also? Or it is a mere gossip? Are there any serious researches about the sexual life of roman and ancient greek armies?

I would need to see some evidence that the cattle were used in illicit ways. Sounds a bit like the idea that soldiers are deployed for long periods surrounded by men so they must all be gay concept.

Wasn't it Polybios who stated that Triarii preferred cows to sheep- being older and having bad knees and all...
