Title: Augustan Roman
Post by: iparker59 on July 09, 2020, 03:52:26 PM
Hi All, Need some assistance.
I am building the above using the War & Empire range. Which Army List should I use?
I was thinking Early Imperial Roman, but on doing some research regarding the units it states on wikipedia that in the reign of Augustan the army continued to use numidian mercenaries for their Light Cavalry units. However, Numidians do not apear in the Early Imperial list.
Any ideas!

The Light Horse line would cover them at a guess - as well as other similar javelin armed skirmish cavalry.

Thanks Nik,

I thought that this might be the case.

Ian.

Also note: according to the list dates, the first 7 years of Augustus' reign as Emperor are still covered by the Late Republican list (i.e. presumably it took him some time to introduce the reforms reflected in the new list).

He was kind of busy sorting out remenants in Spain...
