Late Roman Unit Sizes

[Flavivs Aetivs]

Again, AFAIK Scutati is a Byzantine term for Comitatenses: it does not have any specific meaning in regard to Late Roman infantry.

Throughout this discussion I have been trying to avoid the infantry being organised into maniples and centuries because of the lack of acceptance of these units by members.

I've always accepted the maniple hypothesis for the Late Roman Army because it solves the Ducenarius issue. However, I only agree with Maniples in newer units from 350 onwards (which are mostly Palatina).
