Quote:... normally, generals were on their horses, moving up and down along the lines, shouting orders where necessary, and perhaps even taking part in the battle ...It's maybe more a feature of sieges, where the action is fairly static. Cassius Dio says that Septimius Severus observed the siege of Hatra while seated on a high platform (Dio 76, 12; translation at Bill Thayer's Lacus Curtius site). |
