Thanks for the reply Magister. The ides that the Valentiniaci where Palatina is a new one to me, but considering that Aetius was Magister Militum he would have elevated this new unit to the higher status. Being Bucellari is also an interesting suggestion. Do you thing that at the Battle of Chalons the Herculani, Iovi, Brachiati, Cornuti and Petulantes where present along side the Valentiniaci.
So the picture labeled as a Numerus, do you guess that it is a shield variant of the Cornuti, if so, units shields may have differed from milites to milites. I made some thing similar to the Secunda Brittanica, will post some pictures of their shields locked in shieldwall.
Cheers
