Junkelmann/Stroh vs Strategikon re Commands

[Tasciavanous]

first: there are still enough members of Junkelmanns Legio XXI Rapax on the way. Last time a part of this troup were seenable at Kalkriese ("battle of Varus") in Germany.

Cool I didn't know they were still around.
In Dans book he states quite clearly that the unit had been "de-activated" and in Dr Junklemanns book He seems to suggest that they formed, trained and ultimately existed solely to do the Alpine march as their actions have been a big influence on me I'm very glad that such a top quality unit are still going.

What surviving roman? Like we already said, Maurice was from Kappadokia and wrote it for the byzantine army in the 6th century.

Yes Maurice wasn't from Rome but neither was Tacitus yet we call him roman, my point is that the Eastern Empire (or Byzantium) was still roman the same way that Gaul, Britain, Hispania and so on where Roman they were in the Roman sphere of influence and their modes of living and (I suspect) thought were Roman. Or to put it another way I think like a Roman therefore I AM a Roman.
That said I think you are right, none of us know or will know for sure whats right or wrong so just as in the past we are left to arrive at our own version of Rome in our own way.
