• INFANTRY
peditatus: pedites: copiae pedestres: exercitus pedester. The infantry, as opposed to “cavalry,” are mostly denoted by the historians simply by exercitus, cohortes, milites; also by viri, homines; hence frequently milites equitesque, exercitus equitatusque, exercitus cum equitatu, equites virique, homines equitesque (☞ Herzog, and Maeb., Caes., B.G., 5, 10; 7, 61). Light infantry, pedites levis armaturae: heavy-armed infantry, pedites gravis armaturae: gravius peditum agmen (on their march).
