Quote:any detachment marching under a vexillum tends to be known as a vexillatio.That's as I understand it, yes. But I was referring to the quote from Smith's Dictionary (above, in red) which implies that vexillariis were distinct from a simple vexillatio, and comprised veterans (evocati, as you say, or exauctorari, which I presume means the same thing)... :-?
