How do you see the "Dead" on the battlefield?

[Titus Marcellus Scato]

I agree, 'dead' totals include 'wounded'. Most of them will be wounded rather than dead, in actual fact.

The winner in a battle occupies the battlefield, so some of their wounded can be saved (although generally only the lightly-wounded, in ancient times a severe wound was almost always eventually fatal due to infection (gangrene) and lack of good medical care). For the defeated side, all the wounded men will be run down after the battle by the enemy cavalry and light troops, and killed before they can escape (because they are weak from loss of blood and can't run as fast).

Here's a brief article on the healing of wounds through the ages:

As for the Gaesatae, they have 2 hitpoints in EB where most soldiers have one, so a single wound will not be enough to stop them fighting. You have to give them two serious wounds to put them down.
