Quote:Augustales and Flaviales... appears to have 340 centurions
Might this suggest that Vegetius is wrong when he claims the Augustales and Flaviales were 'added to the ordinarii' (unless he just means 'added to the ordines'), and that they were a senior grade of soldier rather a type of centurion?
Incidentally, for those who can read Turkish, Prof. Onur's book is now partially available in fragmentary form on Google:
Monumentum Pergense
