Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The uneven distribution of cavalry, both alae and cohortes equitatae, along the European frontiers in the second century, is examined and compared with that of the late Empire. Although partly a matter of suitability of terrain, other factors operated in the early period. Cavalry was sited to control routes and lines of advance, as well as important trade routes and potential threats. In some cases alae were sited near legionary bases, thus creating a formidable mixture of heavy infantry and cavalry forces both for offensive and defensive action. In the fourth century the pattern reflects the changed character of the perceived threat. In Britain there was a predominance of infantry along Hadrian's Wall, in contrast to a considerable increase in cavalry units on the Middle Danube. | ||
