RE: [DS] Hidden Units and Recon by Fire

That's what I meant.  The Romans that I talked about didn't have horse
archers in their own armies, but they fought, and often defeated, armies
that did have horse archers.  Of course, they had horse archers as
auxiliaries as well.  (I believe Roman armies as early as Lucullus had
impressed Armenian horse archers)

REPUBLICAN AND EARLY IMPERIAL ROMANS DID NOT HAVE  HORSE ARCHERS .

BUT. . . .

later Imperial romans, mid-imperial romans and late imperial romans
were all very well acquaiinted with horse archer as auxiliaries. even in
the  western  armies.

and the "byzantines' , who thought of themselves as "romans"  made
extensive  use of horse archers, as skirmishers,  as auxiliaries, as
lancer/archers,and later in mixed units of lancers and archers.
