Velites[1] fuerunt genus peditum leviter armatorum qui in exercitu Romano inter annos 211 et 107 a.C.n. pugnabant. Armabantur "parma breviore, gladio, funda, hastis brevibus ac missilibus, non longis et stabilibus, quales erant hastatorum".[2] Velites non separate, sed manipulis hastatorum, principum, triariorumque coniungebantur. Formâ exercitûs a Gaio Mario mutatâ, velites dimissi sunt.
