Aso, it seems sometimes unclear what the division between military and civilian was at the imperial court - the Master of Offices was a civilian, but carried a sword, apparently, and commanded the Scholae - who in turn seem to have losing their elite military status anyway around this time... So who knows?

I think both soldiers as well as civil servants were called 'militare', and both could wear the cingulum as well as those crossbow fibulae. Soldiers were 'militare armata'.
