..please safeguard him from going abroad with the field army
#2
Ah, very nice Carlo, a laudes!

Provides good insight into the apprehensions of the family in regards to military service... Also, a reminder that alae existed in some areas, while more 'modern' cavalry units were raised elsewhere. I think in Egypt, alae and cohortes exited until the end in the 7th c.
