The Vexillation

Can I ask what your take is on a vexillation of the Late Roman army?

And what sources are you using?

My point here was, that in the late roman army the term vexillatio is used for one of the standard cavalry units. The Notitia Dignitatum shows about 90 of them. This is different to the principate, when a vexillatio could mean any detachment of any type of a larger main unit. A detachment of a legio, auxilia, ala or a mixed force of all of them.
