Thanks Steve,
I'd love to see any material on flags and banners. When setting up a middle byzantine military encampment the banners of the taxiarchs were taken to the respective quadrants they would occupy with their troops. This suggests that they could differentiate by colour or symbol at least. I would like to hear about any primary references any one has for this topic.

Pete,
I'll do a bit of a search next week. Flat out at the moment. When I find it I'll photocopy it and send it to you - or would you prefer me to scan it? It would take a lot of memory.

I am curious why 1071 has been selected as the end date for the discussion of the Byzantine military. Why not 1204, 1453 or 1461?
My reason for asking is that I am interested in the Byzantine military and want to learn more about it across the entire time frame of the empire and its successor states.

Why do you use 1071 as the end date instead of 1453 or something in between?
I ask because of an interest in the Byzantine military until the end of the empire.
