Were the Late roman Auxilia German?

[sonic]

Can't recall when you did your dissertation but did you see this article?

Raising New Units for the Late Roman Army: "Auxilia Palatina"
Michael P. Speidel
Dumbarton Oaks Papers, Vol. 50. (1996), pp. 163-170.

As its a few years sisnce I read your work I can't recall if there is anything in the above which contrdicts or adds to your ideas.

Cheers Nik,

I'll have a look and check to see what it says.

PS in response to your signature: Living in Yorkshire but actually a Lancastrian!
