History

1. A picked body of troops, perhaps the same as the comitatense s; they were divided into several bodies, distinguished by various names.

2. Soldiers who were given a higher rank on account of good service or favour; cf. Vegetius, ii. 3,

legionum robur infractum est, cum per gratiam promoverentur milites, qui promoveri consueverant per labores.
