most interesting troop type?

[FAVENTIANVS]

Errrr... so am I!

What about the CAPSARII?

[Octavianvs]

Well also you have the cavalry, Theres special trrops there like Speculatores Augustii ( emperors mounted body guard ) and the Mounted Praetrian Cohorts. But I still think the Navy is definitly .... well look at it this way If there was a trireme or bireme available complete with missile maschines and you could put on a display for a large crowd with a floating target that could be sunk .... well I leave it for your imagination.

You left out one of the most interesting (and overlooked) 1st century troop type of all - Legionary light infantry. They did exist, there is at least one tombstone. They had oval shields and carried javelins, and probably fullfilled the role of the velites of old.

unfortunatly they didn't add enough buttons for me to add legionary light infantry, I actually wanted to, I used to reenact this type.

This board has an unlimited number of poll options, but you'd have to start a new one.

Naval Units, Definitely - both for sheer interest, but also as they are intriguing to study (intriguing, as in there is so little *known* data about them...).

But then there are always the cataphractarii....now there is something!!! hock:
