Late Roman Unit Sizes

[ValentinianVictrix]

I'm not saying we ditch Coello or any others who have tried to identify the size of the Late Roman legions. Rather, what I am saying is that Coello and the others were obviously unaware of this new hard evidence and had they had access to it they would have course included it in their works and we would no doubt be looking at legion sizes perhaps quoted as being on average around the 1500 strength mark.

I think it is going to be difficult for some people to let go of the existing paradigm as it has been in place for so long it has been comfortable, whereas the new research has tipped the apple cart a bit.
