Hi Nathan,
Indeed - and I agree with all of that. 'Short' is a relative term most certainly!
I wasn't arguing for the Praesental/Central Field Armies being meant for the apparent Frontier defence that the 'local' ones were now for (taking over the role from the 'old' Legions, which now seem to have been more static, but may quite possibly have still maintained their named Field Army legiones/detachments).
However, the Emperor being able to get just himself and staff to and fro over the Bosphoros, plus simply having at least some sort of reserve closer, does make a lot of sense.
