Before I go off on one of my (only very occasional!) rants, I would like to ask everybody the following question:
What is the evidence for the Late Roman Auxilia (say, from the time of Constantine I onwards) being almost entirely German?
I have my own viewpoints and evidence, but would prefer others to have their say first so that I can agree with/disagree with their comments without having to post an entire dissertation to support my views first.
I hope nobody minds, but I have extremely limited time available to go online and can reply to points quicker and - hopefully - in a clearer manner this way!
