Can anyone assist with a good analysis of the units in the Notitia Dignitatum - origins etc.<br>
<br>
I have been wading through the information and found that with a bit of detective work, it is possible to piece together likely origins of the various units and pretty good guesses of what the unit types may have been.<br>
<br>
But I suspect someone has probably done all the hardwork before me.<br>
<br>
I am particularly interested in piecing together likely OB for some of the major battles in the late Roman era - Milvian Bridge, Mursa, Adrianople, Strasbourg, Frigidus.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions (other than give up!!)?<br>
