Dromedarii were camel riding auxilary forces recruited in the desert provinces of the east Roman empire. They were developed to take the place of horses where horses were not common. They were also very succesful against enemy horses, as the smell of the camel is absolutely repulsive to a horse and will quickly make them reluctant to enter battle, even stay in the immediate area.
