Late Roman Army Grade/Rank List under Anastasius

Also, I think, an ordinarius commanding the equites promoti of a legion in a Egyptian papyrus of c.300.

It's inconvenient that we don't have two grades of ordinarii on the Perge list - it would make things just a bit easier! But as we do not, I'd agree that they must have been at the same level but commanding differing complements of men.

Fascinating stuff - will there be an English translation of your book, do you know, Marcel?
