Distance marching rates, infantry v cavalry

[Nathan Ross]

Factoid alert! See "Coinage and Cavalry" in Ancient Warfare magazine II.6.

Ah, factoids! :twisted:

And for the study of the ‘third century crisis’, the coin evidence is often pressed into service as a major source. But has it misled us over the question of Gallienus’ battle cavalry?

I would assume it has, then? :wink:

Actually, I notice that Lukas de Blois wrote the intro for that edition... He seemed to have some reservations about Alfoldi's coin evidence back in 1974, but generally accepted the notion of a cavalry reserve, at least a temporary one in Gallienus's reign. Have you gone further along this route?
