Quote:Why are your units of 1,200 men gathered into sixes, then? What is the point of the 7,200-man unit? And why have you decided that the units should comprise 1,200 men, in any case? :?
Quote:The number six is based on the six property classes cited by Dionysius. The number 7200 comes from the tribal system made up of six classes of 1200 men.
Would I be correct to assume that your theory requires every late Roman soldier to be enrolled in one of 35 tribes? :?
