Elite Privileges
"You are the elite. You will be treated as such."One of Constantine's chief changes to the structure of the Roman military was splitting the deployment of troops into a two-tier system; garrison forces known as limitanei, and the combative field armies - the comitatenses. The rationale behind this reorganisation was that there would always be a sufficient force to deploy in the event of crisis. As well as this, the overarching, powerful positions of Magister Peditum and Magister Equitum delineated power from the previously all-powerful Magister Militum. Although these offices existed beneath him, the Magister Militum still wielded supreme military power and commanded the Legions of comitatenses directly. The splitting of his role, necessary once Rome's military infrastructure became too unwieldy, enhanced the status of both infantry and cavalry as elite troops, with privileges being afforded to their new, prestigious positions.
