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.
