Looked long and hard and also queried here for such - but as far as I am now aware neither the supposed 'increases of Severus', nor the 'cavalry reforms of Diocletian' have any direct evidence to support them.
Please, please point me at such if that's not true? If you are taking the Vegetius' armchair construct as evidence, then I at least know where you're coming from.
