Good to see a post on the legion cav, as they tend to get overlooked.

I am painting some auxilliary cavalry at the mo myself. They won't look as good as these though.

Yes I think you are right, Paul. But there must have been more money in it, because the roles were sought after; the Batavians went on strike, demanding that they should be allowed to have a higher proportion of cavalry in their unit.

There'a very good Society of Ancients publication that reconstructs the pay rates of most of the Roman army, there were huge variations between troop types and ranks. The sailors and marines that became I Adiutrix, for example, doubled their salaries.
