I was hoping the Perge Fragment information would have been published by now so that I could used them as a reference in my book but too late now.
I know Fatih Onur has given various talks and lectures on the fragments but I do not believe the full translation has been published yet. Unless Francis knows any different as he was the person who alerted me to their existance.
I have argued that the size of the Late Roman field army legions were approximately 2000 men strong, and 2400 would not sound out of place either.
I'm not sure where the 1200 man Late Roman legion figure comes from, Coello does warn against taking his work as an exact guide to establishing the size of Late Roman infantry and cavalry units.
