Horse Raiders!

Introductions to the Dux will have to wait as a large party of Horse Raiders have been sighted. Roman forces have been dispatched with orders to halt the raiders at a ford nearby. A battle report will be posted in due course when messengers run from the battlefield.

The Dux has some skirmishers,light and heavy infantry to help him, not to mention very heavy cavalry. In the wall painting we see the Dux, his Draco bearer and finally his Gallic bodyguard.
