Quote:Evan, what are the Lanciarii called in the original Greek text of the Strategikon?
I do not think there is any mention of lanciarii (or any alternative spelling of the term) in the Strategikon. As a term it is very rare in Greek but I have seen it being given as javeliner in Lydus.
Of course the lance javelin would also be used by heavy infantry too, so even that would not be sufficient...
