Hi Sean,
People, the question was about ranks etc. of the Late Roman army. For any discussions about Romano-Byzantine warfare, please set up a new thread.
Quote:Robert, I'm confused. The Strategikon gives clear and detailed instructions for commanding a cavalry army without much infantry fighting various other armies.No, the Strategikon gives instructions about how to fight with a cavalry force. It says nothing about cavalry-only armies. This manual does not describe a campaign, it describes the theory of how to wield a force.
