Yeah, it's a lot.

I mean, I think we talked about it in the episode.

We were doing the calculations based on how much Roman infantry, how much food they would carry.

I think it was like two to three pounds per day per soldier.

And I was doing the math.

It was like, wait a minute.

You're going to have to put tons of food on these horses for them to not need to forage.

But, oh, you got barges and a river.

Boom.

Oh, my goodness.

So you're somewhere in the neighborhood of 35 wagons, which you're not going to pull with 10 horses.

Yeah, totally unworkable.

Yeah.

Which other than those places like Sarn Gebir and the Falls, it absolutely would have been.

And those are, like you said, short enough to do portage.

All right.

We've got some more questions after the break.
