Short description

Ala Gallorum et Thracum Antiana Sagittariorum was a mounted horse archer unit. \n

Description

Ala Gallorum et Thracum Antiana Sagittariorum was a mounted horse archer unit. It is unclear from the evidence if all sagittarii units contained only archers. Some sagittarii units were equipped in the same way as ordinary alae and cohortes, apart from carrying bows. Most mounted cavalry units employing bows were raised to counter Parthian threats in the east, however there is evidence that they served elsewhere in the Empire.

This particular unit was referred to in the 'Notitia Dignitatum' as having served in Syria, Iudaea and Arabia Petraea.

It is generally believed that these units were mostly of Syrian and Thracian origin, but as the name suggests, there may well have been horse archers trained in Gaul as well. Their horses were small and fast, as their purpose was generally to harass the enemy from a distance, engaging at speed and then swiftly retreating. They would be a poor choice for charges into infantry lines, as they are not equipped or intended for that purpose.
