Ave, Civitas,
I am working on a series of novels set during the Later Roman Empire.
I noticed that the Eastern Empire had Magister Militum Praesentalis I, and II, two mobile field armies.
However, the Western Empire does not seem to have equivalent organizations.
Since they were once a single empire, can someone explain why, when they split, there are differences in defense and offense between the two halves of the empire?
Again, thanks in advance for your help.
