Modern re-enactor wearing replica equipment of a Roman military tribune of the imperial era. Note plumed, engraved helmet, bronze muscled cuirass, red mantle, red sash tied over cuirass indicating knightly rank, pteruges. The imperial tribune's equipment was virtually unchanged since Republican times.

more vextra stuff. As with much of the imperial army's organisation, it was Augustus who, drawing on the evolved but ad hoc practices of the Republican army, established systematic medical services for the army, with a formal medical hierarchy and the construction of large, fully staffed and well-supplied military hospitals (valetudinaria) in legionary bases e.g. the fully excavated hospital at Castra Vetera (Xanten, Rhineland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_Roman_army

The Third type of Troops (Not Citizen, not Auxilia) Irregular allied forces Throughout the Principate period, there is evidence of ethnic units of barbari outside the normal auxilia organisation fighting alongside Roman troops. To an extent, these units were simply a continuation of the old client-king levies of the late Republic: ad hoc bodies of troops supplied by Rome's puppet petty-kings on the imperial borders to assist the Romans in particular campaigns. Some units, however, remained in Roman service for substantial periods after the campaign for which they were raised, keeping their own native leadership, attire and equipment and structure. These units were variously called by the Romans socii ("allies"), symmachiarii (from symmachoi, Greek for "allies") or foederati ("treaty troops" from foedus, "treaty"). One estimate puts the number of foederati in the time of Trajan at c. 11,000, divided into c. 40 numeri (units) of c. 300 men each. The purpose of employing foederati units was to use their specialist fighting skills.[123] Many of these would have been troops of Numidian cavalry (see light cavalry above). The foederati make their first official appearance on Trajan's Column, where they are portrayed in a standardised manner, with long hair and beards, barefoot, stripped to the waist, wearing long trousers held up by wide belts and wielding clubs. In reality several different tribes supported the Romans in the Dacian wars. Their attire and weapons would have varied widely. The Column stereotypes them with the appearance of a single tribe, probably the most outlandish-looking, to differentiate them clearly from the regular auxilia.[124] Judging by the frequency of their appearance in the Column's battle scenes, the foederati were important contributors to the Roman operations in Dacia. Another example of foederati are the 5,500 captured Sarmatian cavalrymen sent by Emperor Marcus Aurelius (r. 161–180) to garrison a fort on Hadrian's Wall after their defeat in the Marcomannic Wars

from the Army talk forum so answer was Bonus As for cavalry, there is no source for the use of a pilum with them. They seem to have been using either a hasta or lancea (spears both for thrusting as well as trowing) combined with iacula (short javelins for trowing). http://www.romanarmytalk.com/rat/thread-22742.html?highlight=auxilia Auxiliary specialised units In the Republican period, the standard trio of specialised auxilia were Balearic slingers, Cretan archers and Numidian light cavalry. These functions, plus some new ones, continued in the 2nd century auxilia. Numidian light cavalry They were known as the equites Maurorum or Numidarum ("Moorish or Numidian cavalry"). On Trajan's Column, Mauri horsemen, depicted with long hair in dreadlocks, are shown riding their small but resilient horses bare-back and unbridled, with a simple braided rope round their mount's neck for control. They wear no body or head armour, carrying only a small, round leather shield. Their weaponry cannot be discerned due to stone erosion, but is known from Livy to have consisted of several short javelins.[115][116] Exceptionally fast and maneuverable, Numidian cavalry would harass the enemy by hit-and-run attacks, riding up and loosing volleys of javelins, then scattering faster than any opposing cavalry could pursue. They were superbly suited to scouting, harassment, ambush and pursuit, but in melee combat were vulnerable to cuirassiers.[117] It is unclear what proportion of the Numidian cavalry were regular auxilia units as opposed to irregular foederati units.[118] About East Archers Three distinct types of archers are shown on Trajan's Column: (a) with scalar cuirass, conical steel helmet and cloak; ( without armour, with cloth conical cap and long tunic; or © equipped in the same way as general auxiliary foot-soldiers (apart from carrying bows instead of javelins). The first type were probably Syrian or Anatolian units; the third type probably Thracian.[121] The standard bow used by Roman auxilia was the recurved composite bow, a sophisticated, compact and powerful weapon.[120]

there isnt a name to diferenciate Auxilia Infantry between missile javelin , spear and swordman. but some misile are not hard to name like Funditores(slinger) and Auxilia Sagittarii (Syrian Archer). but javeliner are same as spear. Auxiliar Infantry there are the Lanciari

Octavian was great Orator and propagandistic, give them conversion( when is avaible and/ or cheap imperial buildings) Trajan was great military even die in campaign by natural reason, was a soldier all his life.but don't was like a Julius Caesar The first time, I was read about Titus Flavius, he was most loved emperor, more than Octavian, more than Julius Caesar. -
