Quote:The Greek military structure after the Roman conquest: vanished, gone!

This had been on the way out for about 2 centuries now. The Macedonian Phalanx had been adopted first, and then the Phalanx system was dropped altogether.

Quote:The Langobard military organization after the Carolingian conquest: Gone in few years.

Actually not much different from the Caroliginian one, so the change was easy for the units to make.

Modern Military structures cannot be applied. In an age of information it is comparable easy to change military structure quickly.

Quote:Don't you think Pavel that before dreaming about not existent Roman military units in the VI century we should show some proof?


There is some proof, but negligent. The last reliable account of Roman military units in the west is Gregory of Tours' account of Clovis subduing the "Ripuarian Franks" i.e. "Riparienses" units on the Rhine. Most of the Limitanei on the Rhine probably had no idea that the Roman Empire had fell and had to be assimilated into Frankish government. The Rhine Limes were well over 450 years old and the organization and military system there would take time to assimilate.


No proofs Mag. Simply because there was not any Roman unit in the Mrovingian France. Smile

The Carolingian Feudal warfare was another world compared to the Late Roman army, so probably I don't understand what you mean here ... :|
