Actually I think that Vegetius "6000 man Herculani and 6000 man Iovani" Legions are a mistake - that these two legions TOGETHER numbered 6000 men, not 6000 men each. I'd have to look at the latin text of course.
Isn't he referring to the same Iovani and Herculani of Diocletion - the two Illyrian legions famed for their use of the Mattiobarbulus?
