Dextrator

The author thinks —guesswork is here inavoidable— that the hapax «dextrator», till now of unknown meaning, was to express the cavalrymen’s outstanding horsemanship, not to name some sort of highly skilled sharpshooter on horseback. In the same text (CIL VIII 18042), cantabricus seems to mean ‘pugnacious, war-loving, weaponscrazy folk’, bearing no relation to the drill called κανταβρικὴ ἐπέλασις, that Roman troops took from their most obdurate and bravest former foes.
