Republican Roman Soldiers of the Second Punic War
Another long one, but at least I get quite a lot in. There was a day when this would have been five videos instead of one. Never mind. Here me ramble on about velites, hastati, principes, triarii, and equites.

The “TRIARII” were quite possibly an early form of “Military Police.” Being that they were older and more respected, they could have been used keep order in the camps. Another analogy could be they were like the Russian pusher units of ww2.

It isn't known. I was raised, rather unusually, by badgers and they are notorious for bad record-keeping.
