Late Roman Army (Fifth century)
#14
Quote:Being a sneaky Byzantine, Maurice actualy advises that the various units are of unequal strengths, so as to make it harder to estimate total numbers in the force. He also regards it more important for men to serve with others that they know than to be in neat units.

Clever guy that Maurice. His Strategikon is a fantastic read.

Abruna, you make a good point regarding the Ducentenarius ... I need to learn more Latin.
