Quote:But I don't think we can assume any more (as several historians once did) that a limitanei legion was substantially larger than a legion of the comitatensis - 3000 men or so. Instead, they might well have been exactly the same size - 1200 or so at full strength.
This was Jones' assumption and I have no idea what the historical basis for it was. I've always assumed 12 centuries totalling 960 men.
