Roman regiments of the VIth century.

True.

"Numerus felicium Laetorum"

I'm interested in this unit, anymore info on it?

I'm very interested too, it should be the regiment I want to recreate.
Unfortunately we don't know too much, according to Ravegnani it could be a unit composed by the descendants of those Alamanni and Taifals settled in Emilia during the IVth century as laeti.
There is another problem too: there was an epigraph (dated to 591) in Genoa of a "miles Magnus", with the name of the regiment he served in. Well, the numerus has been read as "numerus felicium laetorum", but also as "numerus felicium illyricorum" and now I think there's a bit of confusion between scholars, 'cause recently I read that they were both stationed in Genoa, but I think that's impossible or at least not demonstrable (we have a document from Ravenna which attests the existence of the numerus felicium laetorum, but it doesn't attest that the numerus was in Genoa during VIth century).
