Units of the field armies survived into Byzantine themata? - comitatus (Marco) - 06-23-2007
Hi.
Is said roman field armies were regrouped in Asia Minor in the late 630s and 640s. Well, exist evidence of roman units with origins in the field armies of the third or fourth centuries survived into Byzantine themata system in the late 7th century, 8th century, 9th century, etc.? Please, I need units names.
Regards,
Marco.

Byzantine chronicalers talk about "turmes" amd the rank of "Turmarches" survives until 13th century.
Hope I helped, kind regards.

We did discuss some of that before, beyond that I have nothing to add I´m afraid.
