Well, Aitor, when I say 'much later' I'm not necessarily refering to time as much as to how much had happened in so short a span. Disaster followed disaster. Julian's fiasco against Persia combined with the civil wars that followed and wars with the Goths after his death. I think the army emerged looking quite different after those trials which is when the <em>Notitia Dignitatum</em> was written. I don't trust it for the period prior to the extinction of the Constantinian dynasty which ruled over the empire for about two-thirds of the 4th century.<br>

Maybe I'll be a member of the <em>Palatina</em> like you suggested.<br>
