Matiarii

One Hundred and Eighty!

Matiarii were an infantry unit attached to the elite Palatina Legions, and so mostly served in the Emperor's personal army, fighting primarily with javelins. Perhaps most famously, matiarii were a part of the Imperial army that fought at the Battle of Adrianople, widely regarded as the catalyst for the terminal decline of the Western Roman Empire. The Emperor Valens supposedly took refuge with his matiarii as the Roman force collapsed.
