Late Roman Army (Fifth century)
#20
Quote:Perhaps a hint that the nominal (very likely less in reality) number of men in a unit was either 400 or 600 is that there was a rank of DUCENTENARIUS - Leader of 200 men in addition to the CENTENARIUS - Leader of 100 men. If your unit doesn't have a group of 200 men within its structure the rank of DUCENTENARIUS would be pointless

Nick, where did you find that rank? I can only find a rank called a ducenarius... :?
