Quote:Can we say Tacitus is the exception that proves the rule? He uses the phrase exercitus Romanus twice ([i]Hist[/i]. 4.57; 75), ...

I remember the term exercitus germaniae or exercitus syricus (different grammar but same meaning). So exercitus romanus, exercitus romanorum or exercitus rei publicae was always obvious for me.
