Quote:Umm... just because they were called Auxiliaries in the sources doesn't make them Auxiliaries.
There are Limitanei units graded as Auxilia in the Notitia, but that's it.
So, if the Roman's, including former Roman Tribunes, call troops auxiliaries then they are not actually auxiliaries?
I dont think I have ever read a more baffling statement to be honest!
If they are not auxiliaries then Evan, what do you believe them to be? And don't quote the Notitia as that document is not entirely accurate and does not actually specify what an auxilia unit is or is not. in this context.
