Western Roman Empire Missile Infantry

Exculcatores

Exculcatores' were ranged infantry units that operated as part of the Auxilia Palatina - Legions of auxiliaries created during Constantine the Great's military reforms of the early 4th century AD. They were formed of local troops, and often took the names of the tribes from which they were drafted. As auxiliaries, it is safe to assume that exculcatores operated along the frontiers, stationed in Gaul or Britannia. Although there is reference to their acting as standard javelinmen, the Notitia Dignitatum contains some evidence that exculcatores were specialist units, used for tracking in conjunction with another scouting corps known as 'exploratores'.
