Late Roman Army Grade/Rank List under Anastasius
#58
Perge was not a backwater city, between the 4th & 6th centuries AD it was one of the most important centres of Christianity in the Roman Empire. I would have expected any troops stationed there to be protected fairly well by troops of at least comitatensis status or higher. There may well have been a detachment of a Palatine legion there, and the Sermio could have related to the troops of the detachment, whilst the edict on the stone would reflect the pay rates of all the troops in that legion, not just the detachment. The edict would have been very important as it would have been a benchmark for the pay rates all the legions within at least the eastern half of the empire.
