Late Roman Unit Sizes

[Nathan Ross]

Andronicus (?) in the sixth century also seems to have reorganized the army by studying the ancient Greek army manuals... is this system seen in the Anastasius Perge list?

The source sounds interesting, although most claims (throughout history) that some person or other has reorganised their army based on studying old books tend to be rather fanciful! But clearly some sort of reorganisation did go on around that time.

I would think the 'Perge legion' was rather a survival of the older system though; there are so many direct links (in terms of rank/grade titles and positions) between it and the legion of Vegetius or even the principiate. The fact that the rank titles are Latin transliterated into Greek suggests that we are not looking at a 'Hellenised' military system just yet.
