Quote:Up to at least the 1st century AD Chiliarchos is the normal translation for tribune; militum was often - incorrectly - thought to be derived from milia=thousands.Jasper Oorthuys:14vk0opl Wrote:Chiliarchos = Tribunus or Praefectus in the case of auxiliary millary units?Not a Latin expert but I think Tribunus is more likely.
Kind regards
Stefanos
By the fourth century it was - I believe - simply transcribed as tribounos
