Late Roman Army Grade/Rank List under Anastasius

Quote:Thanks for that!

I never realised the late Romans utilised 'quoit throwers' . . . Confusedhock:

The Greek text has diskoboloi. I must say that I would have expected a verutarius to be armed with the verutum and I have never seen that as a discus. Perhaps Lydus knew something that we do not!
