This list covers armies from Septimius Severus until the fall of Constantine I’s last rival Licinius. The lorica segmentata was now replaced by other forms of legionary armour. A lanciarius is depicted on a tombstone unarmoured with a small round or oval shield and carrying 5 large javelins. They were certainly elite troops and often brigaded together separately from their parent legions. Since one such brigading became the later army’s senior legion, we assume they were not skirmishers, but more mobile legionaries. Auxiliarii foot seem now to have been unarmoured. Severus upgraded the former mixed cohortes to alae. Equites Illyricani included not only Illyrians but several similar types of light horse, such as Moors, Scutarii and Legionary Promoti. Catafractarii at this time were the old type of lancer in mail shirt, shieldless and on unarmoured horses. Tombstones of catafractarii sometimes show them with shield and short spear instead of contus, so fielding them as Cv (O) is an option. Clibanarii were fully armoured lancers on armoured horses, probably first raised by Severus Alexander after 227 AD from Parthian refugees fleeing the Sassanids. Maxentius, although a western ruler, had clibanarii probably deserted from Galerius’s army in 307. These were destroyed at Turin, so were not at the Milvian bridge, the cavalry depicted routed there probably being horse guards. Zosimos says Palestinian clubmen were used by Aurelian to counter Palmyrene clibanarii. However, Constantine (whom Zosimos hated) is described in a contemporary panegyric as defeating the clibanarii at Turin with legionaries wielding iron-knobbed clubs and this may have been transferred. This list runs concurrently with the Late Imperial Roman list between 307 and 324, because Constantine’s rivals continued to use the old system. A force of marines in 193 was described as totally lacking drill. Phil Barker et Richard Bodley Scott, Listes d’armées DBM – Livre 2, 2e édition, novembre 1998
