Ostrogothic Kingdom (The Last Roman) Melee Cavalry

Scholae

Scholae were the successors of the corrupt, abolished Roman Praetorians. They operated above the control of the regular army, answering instead to the state's senior civil officers. Commanded in the field by the ruler himself, scholae were originally recruited exclusively from non-Roman citizens during the time of the Western Empire. Presumably, this was similar to the Ptolemaic Pharaohs' hiring of Galatian Celts as their bodyguards, or future Byzantine Emperors' use of Nordic warriors - the Varangian Guard - to protect them; someone who isn't a citizen, but is on the payroll, is less likely to revolt or engage in subterfuge against the throne.
