On the whole, 2012 really was a year to remember in so many ways. The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and London Olympic and Paralympic Games really made for a very special year in the UK bringing an amazing feel good factor across the country. Airshow wise, it was such a memorable season with all the major shows of the year pulling in some unique and enjoyable highlights. Sadly however, the season did not pass without tragedy; the former Shuttleworth Collection Chief Pilot Trevor Roche was killed in an accident just prior to the Collection’s July Military Pageant airshow. Also towards the end of the year both Peter Eager and Don Bean, the organisers of the Shoreham Airshow, passed away following illness.

Drawn from a wide range of warlike peoples throughout the provinces, especially on the fringes of the empire, auxiliaries were generally not citizens of the Roman empire. The cavalry of the auxilia provided a powerful fighting arm; organized, disciplined and well trained, it was adept at performing both skirmish and shock action. This book details the many roles of the Roman auxiliary cavalryman, including reconnaissance, communication and policing duties, as well as in battle. Motivation for enlisting, conditions of service and experience of battle are all explored, and colour illustrations support the text.
