Description: The Roman equites cavalry were a class of citizens in ancient Rome who initially served as the cavalry in the Roman army. These individuals were part of the broader equestrian order, a social class ranking below the senatorial class but above the common citizens. The equites were originally distinguished by their role as horsemen or cavalrymen, a status they held by virtue of their wealth, which allowed them to afford horses and the equipment necessary for cavalry service. The equites were integral to the Roman military system during the early and middle Republic periods, serving as a crucial component of the army's mobility and striking power. They were typically recruited from the wealthier segments of society, as the cost of maintaining a horse and the associated military equipment was considerable. Over time, as the Roman military evolved and infantry became the dominant force, the role of the equites in the army diminished. By the late Republic and into the Empire, the equites transitioned into a more administrative and political role within Roman society. They held various important public offices, engaged in business and trade, and formed a vital part of the Roman bureaucracy. Despite this shift, their origins as cavalrymen remained a significant aspect of their identity and status within Roman culture.
