Give me a few hours to go back through a couple forums on another site and I can have better explanations.
Also, for Limitanei I meant garrisons for border forts etc.
And about Vegetius, he is accurate for some things for other things he is not. His description of the legion and Unit sizes is not accurate; 6000 men to a legion would make the late army number almost a million men. In actuality we could estimate it numbered about 90000 maximum for each half of the empire. And that varies depending on what unit sizes you use etc.
