Perhaps Caesar's commentaries would provide some illustration?<br>
<br>
I've personally read through the conquest of Gaul, then I broke from that and am about half way through Livy's early history.<br>
<br>
Therefore, I can't say if Caesar sheds much light on Auxilleries in the Civil Wars, but there is plenty of mentions and talks of employment of allied Celtic forces in Gaul. Particularly, cavalry operations and skirmishes are noted in there.<br>
<br>
I hope this is in some way helpful. I'm here on this board to learn from these experienced folks... <p></p><i></i>
