Quote:I would not dismiss out of hand the Legions no longer having maniples etc during the time Ammianus served with the Roman army, he does mention maniples, centuries, cohorts etc a number of times in his history
It has occurred to me that, when Ammianus does this, he is using a military colloquialism for a complete force in all its elements, without implying that the individual terms were actually relevant to the army of his day, much as we say "lock, stock and barrel", although that has little relationship to modern firearms.

And do as adversaries do in law, -
Strive mightily, but eat and drink as friends.
