IM BACK! Throughout my responsibilities, dog passing, and a health issue that delayed this post, I've been working on it whenever I could. AND HERE IT IS.

Presenting Late Roman Empire! This roster was based on Constantine I's times. Descriptions of soldiers in the comments

Catafractii
The Romans created a cataphract force of their own to answer the heavy cataphracts of the East that have caused much grief to the Roman military. The Catafractii fought all over the empire, quelling invasions and rebelling through the weight of horse and lance.

Comitatenses
The final iteration of the standing infantry of the Roman Empire was finely tuned to the new needs of their military. Simple, fast and flexible they were a swiss army knife to deal with the great variety of threats that needed to be repelled.

Palatini
The Palatini elite infantry was established to replace the notorious Praetorian Guard after their disbandment. From keeping important people safe to crushing the enemies of the Empire, they brought their expertise in combat.

Limitanae
The Limitanae were local soldiers who defended their lands as the first line of defense from the unannounced invasions of the many enemies of the Empire. Their presence throughout the Empire dealt with the unending small-scale raids.

Equites
Though the Roman military put emphasis on their infantry, their Equites played the important role of staying a constant threat on the flanks and most importantly massacring the fleeing enemies.
