Regarding the number of cavalry and archers in the late Roman Empire,

 It is well known that the Roman Empire began to value cavalry in the 3rd and 4th centuries when it comes to the number of cavalry and archers in the late Roman Empire. In the late 3rd and early 4th centuries of the Roman Empire, Emperor Diocretian and Emperor Constantine dramatically increased the size of the army and cavalry. In addition, there is a lot of evidence of an increase in the role of court soldiers in the late Roman Empire. 1. How long was the general force of the late Roman Empire? The records of Emperor Diocretian show that Emperor Diocretian quadrupled the existing Roman army. Or, when he became emperor, the total number of legions was 39, but the number of legions increased to 59 to 60 just before he died. The historian who mentioned the total number of troops during this period was Lydia John, who stated that the total number of Roman troops at the time was 389,704 for the Army and 45,562 for the Navy. It is not known exactly whether the head of this force he refers to is the force before or after Diocretian reform. However, considering that the total number of troops in the empire reached about 580,000 at the time of Emperor Constantine's throne, it is reasonable to assume that Diocretian increased the empire's troops from about 380,000 to 500,000 to 600,000. The general history of Roman troops in the 3rd and 4th centuries AD is roughly as follows. Year Feed Empire Western Imperial Eastern troops ------------------------------------------------------------------- 235,000 people 253,000 people 385,000 people 312 Joshimus 286,000 people 581,000 395(?) Notitia 250,000 people 303,000 troops in total. 2. Number of cavalry in the late Roman army? According to historian Cheeseman, the initial number of cavalry in the Roman army was 3,600 cavalry members and 47,500 cavalry members, totaling 51,000 cavalry members. The first emperor to increase the proportion of Roman cavalry was Emperor Galeanus in the 3rd century AD. When he founded the Mobile Forces, he increased the number of cavalry belonging to the Roman Corps from 120 to 700. It is not known exactly whether the number of military cavalry increased by Emperor Galeanus has taken out cavalry of assistants and added them to the corps, or whether the number of cavalry belonging to the corps has increased while leaving them intact. If the latter, or bojobyeong a cavalry of the corps corps at the time was 33 and would increase the illness of the horse and leave the cavalry, a corps party increased the head of the horse has 33 will be 5.8 : 19,140 x be 580. In other words, interpret for Illetre follow the horse of 51,000 people to Emperor anuseu 70,140 people will be (+ 19140 51000). Roman horse head of the 260 or of respect between 50,000 and 70,000 people can see eotttago. Dio keureti anuseu the defense to each region and stationed in various parts of the Roman Empire is jegukkun gukkyeong to military invasion but later never been placed at the rear of the empire and (limitanei), will be separated from the field (comitatenses, palatinae) to meet the enemy. How much each of the horse and foot in this field and army gukkyeong sosokttoe data that was 395, key management and military forces of the Roman Empire from the government list of documents "notitia dignitatum" that is about respect can be found. Summarizing the cavalry and infantry units of the Roman army appearing in Notitia Designitatum, the percentage of cavalry and infantry soldiers in their unit --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

21,000 field soldiers of the Western Roman Empire 92,000 18.5% of the Western Roman Empire border soldiers 58,500 of the Western Roman Empire border soldiers 58,500 of 43,2% of the Western Roman border soldiers of 2,500, 100% of the Eastern Roman field soldiers of 82,500 of 20.7% of the total of 204,500 of 349,500 of the total. And, compared with the Western Roman, Byzantine, you can tell that to maintain a higher percentage of a cavalry. (a cavalry was 32.8 percent of the whole army is the Western Roman, Byzantine horse is 44.4 per cent of the whole army) 3., late Roman, the organization of a cavalry? The cavalry of the late Roman army include medium-sized soldiers engaged in close combat with close weapons such as spears and swords, mid- to long-term soldiers armed with full-body armor, horse-bearing horse armor, and sports soldiers mainly armed with complex dangos. The author of "warfare in roman europe, 350 - 425 ad" hugh elton What is the percentage of each type of horse in the late Roman army investigation. Heavy cavalry of a cavalry of the Western Roman Empire 2 percent, according to him, The Light Brigade (Mounted archery) concluded that 47 percent and 51 percent of heavy cavalry. Heavy cavalry is 15 percent and heavy cavalry of 61 percent of a cavalry of the same time the Byzantine empire, Mounted archery is that 15 percent. In general, the Western Roman jegukkun heavy cavalry is about half and separately, horse and rider are heavily armed and light cavalry Heavy cavalry has only 2 per cent overall light cavalry will tend to value. Heavy cavalry is on the other hand, the Byzantine empire than overwhelming majority in the Western Roman Empire, and heavy cavalry. + Heavy cavalry, the percentage of accounts for more than 80 percent of all horse. That is relatively importantly, you can say that he thought the heavy cavalry. 4. The number of late Roman soldiers. There is no historical data that tells exactly how much the late Roman army's archers were. However, you can guess how much of the palace disease there was. Among the unit names that appear in the official document of the Roman Empire in the late 4th century, "Sagatarii," which means a professional archer unit, has 43 Eastern Roman empires and 26 Western Roman empires. Considering that most of the unit names in the "Notitia Designatum" have 500 members, except legio, or legion, there were about 21,500 (43x500) in the Eastern Roman Empire and a total of 34,500 (26x500) in the Western Roman Empire. In addition to these professional archers' groups, it seems that the late Roman army also operated a number of archers for each legion and assistant. Evidence for this is that most of the battle records in the 3rd and 4th centuries AD were mentioned along with infantry. 2> In the 4th century AD, a large number of arrows and bows were excavated from the legion where saragatii was placed. In particular, according to the third evidence, the phrase that Begetius trained one-third to a quarter of all soldiers as archers, it can be said that about a third to a quarter of the Roman army was trained to handle arrows. In other words, even if you don't manage up to a quarter of the entire army, you can see that there was a fairly high percentage of archery soldiers in general units. In particular, the fact that a large number of bows and arrows were excavated from the corps base where no specialized archers were deployed proves that there were many archers in the late Roman army in addition to the specialized archers group. In addition, records show that Roman troops killed 1,000 barbarians in arrow attacks around the 4th century AD, or articles in 365 AD that assistants from "auxilia platina" exchanged arrow attacks with each other for a long time.
