kotik 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2006 I have now for some time wondered about the life of the auxilla in a border fort. I remember seeing pictures of auxillary troops stationed in a tower on border wall (limes) and that got me wondering, how long did they stay in a border tower? Is there any books/internet sites that tells about the life of the auxillary troops? P.S. Moderators I didn't really know where to put my question so please feel free to move it or delete it.

Pertinax 3 Report post Posted April 8, 2006 Hello and welcome. An initial starting point might be the two Osprey titles "Roman Auxiliary Cavalryman " (AD 14 -193) and "Rome's Northern Frontier" AD 70 -235. If you flick through the Gallery area I have an "Historic sites " album which will lead you to some annotated images on the Hadrianic defences and some further notes on various Auxilliae.Thats just for basic starters. http://www.roman-britain.org/overview.htm this link takes you to a neat little site with auxilliae linked to location in Britain. Which continent are you on by the way? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
