Quote:Foederati is a Late Roman term, perhaps what you're thinking of is the Auxilia.No. Nicholas, i was not thinking of auxiliaries. If i had been thinking of auxiliaries, i would have written on another thread, and asked about auxiliaries. Frankly, i find your comment insulting to my intelligence.
And can you provide me with proof that it is a late roman term, or is that an opinion?
I vaguely remember the term 'numerus', but i didn't connect it with this, because i understood the term 'foederati' to mean 'bound by treaty', which i assume the Germanic warriors did in tribal groups for the Dacian campaign?
