Carlton, I just wanted to thank you for the Late Roman Empire/Jones suggestion. I've gone ahead and ordered the two volume set.
I asked my initial question because I'm curious about the support arm of the later Roman army. I would assume that, like modern armies, the combat troop/support staff ratio was higher than the 'barbarian' armies at the time. If this is the case, I would think that it would be appropriate for the many re-enactment units to have some one who represents that specific aspect of the Roman military. If I get into a re-enactment group, I think that's what I would like to do.
Thanks again for the referrence!
