Legionary Officers and NCOs - Late Roman Army (284 - 565 AD)
#91
Quote:I fear that the statement by Treadgold may have been a circular argument. Knowing the number of officers and assuming the number in a command, he may have deduced the number of 80 commanded by each ordinarius.

Is this the source you've sometimes mentioned for the late century being composed of 80 men? Or is there something else? It does sound a bit circular if so.
