Just because I scolded Malalas earlier... it seems that in his accounts of event during Anastasius' I reign onwards, he is much more reliable.
The lesson being not to throw the baby out with the bath water. I am making rapid progress at the moment. I used my tribal system for the period of Diocletian in regard to the praetorian infantry and cavalry and it produces 10 units of 200 men, which is what Julian had at Strasbourg. The praetorians may have been disbanded by Constantine, but there organisation lives on. The Late Roman army is still adhering to the Pythagorean system, the difference is the Romans had chopped the organisation up into smaller pieces. I now have too many mathematical matches for it to be coincidence.
