Roman Auxiliary Cavalryman by Nic Fields
Drawn from a wide range of warlike peoples throughout the provinces, especially on the fringes of the empire, auxiliaries wer generally not citizens of the Roman empire. The cavalry of the auxilia provided a powerful fighting arm; organised, disciplined and well trained, it was adept at performing both skirmish and shock action.

Motivation for enlisting, conditions of service and experience of battle are all explored.Dr Nic Fields started his career as a biochemist before joining the Royal Marines.
