Quote:The relevant sections of the ND do mention cohorts in relation to legions, though - Praefectus legionis primae adiutricis cohortis quintae partis superioris, Breg(e)tione, for example. Suggesting that the old limitanei legions on the frontiers were still organised on traditional lines, with cohorts.That is correct: legiones, cohortes, alae, numeri etc, all with the old style command structure.
