Auxilia Palatina
#8
I'd have to find the Thread about Numerii and stuff, Pompeius Magnus made an excellent argument. My own sources are in the storage too :/.

Also, I agree that Palantines had multiple functions - they were like multirole fighters. They could stand ground as heavy infantry, but also act as skirmishers. I belive there are a few depicitions of Palantine units performing those operations, but I'm not sure. Also, don't some historians belive that only the front ranks of a unit wore armor, while the rest were light infantry armed with lancaeae, plumbatae, and Veruta and etc?

Also, I'll have to dig up my source on this but it there was a debate about the Draco only being used in the presence of an Emperor leading an army. Again I'll have to find the thread.
