Historical description and application

The cavalry of the Roman Republic was a vital component of the army during key conflicts such as the Punic Wars, in which Rome faced Carthage. Roman cavalrymen, though often fewer in number than infantry, played an important role in reconnaissance, flanking, and pursuing retreating enemy troops. This set recreates the typical weaponry and equipment of Roman cavalry: short swords (gladius), spears, helmets, and cloaks.
