Quote from: Erpingham on May 14, 2024, 01:54:05 PMReally, for relevance, we do need more on the military significance of camelids. For example, were camels more important logistically than in combat?For example, the apparent variations in Roman auxiliary employment - some attestations have the odd dromedarius listed at then end of an infantry century, at least one has the chap tacked onto a cavalry turma. Are they scouts in ones or twos to give combat units a better recce capability in certain locations, or are they perhaps the pack camel master riding a lead animal, as opposed to an otherwise undistinguished (in terms of attestation) soldier leading a string of pack mules on foot in other units?
