There has been much discussion on the 5th Cavalry at the Battle of Gaine's Mill.

What were some reasons the Roman's lost the battle of Cannae?
There were two reasons why the Romans were defeated at the battle of Cannae. One was the military brilliance of Hannibal. He was one of the greatest military geniuses of antiquity. This battle was one of the masterpieces of Hannibal's tactical cleverness. The other was the superiority of Hannibal's cavalry. The Roman cavalry was 1/3 of the size of the infantry. Hannibal's cavalry was 2/3 of its forces. With a superior cavalry, the cavalry could outflank the enemy and attack them from the rear, thus encircling the enemy as the infantry attacked at the front.
How may men did Hannibal have in the battle of Cannae?
The figures are uncertain. A reasonable estimate is 35,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry. The Roman figure opposing him may have been 50,000 infantry and 6,000 cavalry, though some sources go as high as 90,000.

Cavalry/Infantry/DragoonCavalry rides to the battle and fights mounted. Traditionally on horseback, but motorized with humvees and helicopters nowdays.Infantry walks to the battle and fights on foot. But today, they may get to the front by truck, airplane, etc.Dragoons rode to the front but fought on foot. So today's infantry are really dragoons, but that term has disappeared.
