Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Severus effected a number of changes, the most important being the development of the nucleus of a field army. He increased considerably the number of troops stationed in or near Rome, used cavalry as a separate fighting force and task-forces drawn from legions in his campaigns (following Marcus here), and raised three new legions and at least twenty milliary cohorts. Soldiers were granted, among other privileges, the right to marry. Severus did not however change the recruiting of the militia equestris to exclude Italy and the western provinces. Senatorial and equestrian officers from Africa and the east are well attested before him; Italians under and after him. The change was in social standing; recruiting of equestrian officers was from military areas and also from former rankers. This was of necessity, not deliberate policy. Equestrian officers from eastern and Danubian provinces are listed in an appendix. B D | |||
