More Merovingian- Kingdom of Soissons

Quote:Yes.But of course we should keep in mind this Macedonians doesn't have to be necessarily the same with Legio Macedonica but it is very likely they were the same regiment soldiers and presumable Macedonica is very richly suggested also in Egyptian art(other pieces with similar shield design exist from this region apart from that already posted).

Carlo:I always talked about units in Roman military tradition not about actual Roman army units continuing in service(although I believe some units like this very likely existed as well and were kept in service for some time by new barbarian overlords).

The difference between the Egyptian one and the one from (Balbuk is it?) is that it was found where the Legion was known to be stationed.
