Late Empire legions

Shield pattern of the palatina legion of the Ioviani seniores, according to Notitia Dignitatum.Diocletian reorganized the Roman army, in order to better handle the menace of the barbarians from north Europe as well as that of the Persians from the East. The army was formed by border and field units.

The border (limitanei) units were to occupy the limes, the structured border fortifications, and were formed by professional soldiers with an inferior training.

The field units were to stay well behind the border, and to move quickly where they were needed, with both offensive and defensive roles. Field units were formed by elite soldiers with high-level training and weapons. They were further divided into:

Scholae units – the personal guard of the Emperor, created to substitute the Praetorian Guard disbanded by Constantine I;
Palatinae units – "palace" units were the highest ranked units;
Comitatenses units – "line" or "regular" units, some of them were new legions, other were Early Empire legions;
Pseudocomitatenses units – they were limitanei units diverted into the field army and often kept there; some Early Empire legions became pseudocomitatenses units.
Some of these units kept a numbering scheme. Primary source is the Notitia Dignitatum
