Skirmishing in Greek and Roman armies may be defined as free‐flowing, uncontrolled troop movements. They took place on battlefields where two armies met, but also in other conditions. They were a regular and important feature of military campaigns. Both Greek and Roman armies had specially designated troops for this purpose, but various other types of troops could also engage in skirmishing. These “light infantrymen” tended to carry out a variety of roles, all of which could have had a significant effect on overall strategy.
