Ave Civitas,
I was wondering about the organization of the barbarian Foederatus. They were, I believe, used to augment the strength of the Roman army.
What I was wondering was, when they were "called to duty" were they organized into cohorts like the army was?
I would assume that there was a Roman officer assigned as a liaison, would that be true in all instances of their being called to Active Duty?
Just things that were rolling around in my head.
Thanks
Me.
