Title: | A cavalaria romana, entre o Alto e o Baixo-Império | Other Titles: | The Roman cavalry between the Early and the Late Empire | Authors: | Barbosa, Pedro Gomes | Issue Date: | 2009 | Publisher: | Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra | Abstract: | O nosso intuito, neste trabalho, foi o de tentar chamar a atenção, embora de
forma muito breve, para o facto de a cavalaria não ter sido, durante o Principado,
uma arma ''inferior", e, durante o Baixo-império, a "rainha" dos campos de
batalha. Embora a sua importância tenha aumentado significativamente a partir
de César, com novo emprego táctico, ela foi usada com eficácia quando o terreno
e o inimigo o pediam e quando o comandante das tropas tinha o discernimento
suficiente para a utilizar com eficácia. The purpose of this article is to briefly call attention to the fact that cavalry was not an inferior, weapon during the Principate, as it wasn't the "queen" of the fields of war during the Late Empire. Although its importance increased significantly after Caesar, with its new tactical deployment, cavalry was used with efficacy whenever the terrain and the enemy required it, and whenever troop commanders had sufficient skill to use it efficiently. |
