Very sorry Tarbicvs....... we cannot cut out the medieval reference since it is the reference needed to study the samurai!
We cannot juxtapose a first century western(Roman) reference cadre onto a medieval military feudal and very very Eastern society.
the only scientific means we have in this discussion is comparison in numbers, battle tactics, military practice etcetera.
we cannot impose a Japanese imperial system, including various shogunates, to a Roman imperial system led by Generals AND!! the emperor!!!!!
