	Master - LoveToKnow 1911
		Magister equitum, master of the horse, goes back to the early history of the Roman Republic (see Dictator; and for the British office, Master Of The Horse).
		In medieval universities magister was particularly applied to one who had been granted a degree carrying with it the licentia docendi, the licence to teach.
		The academic use of "master" as the title of the head of certain colleges at the universities of Oxford and Cambridge is to be referred to the frequent application of the term to the holder of a presiding office in an institution.

		Magister militum (Latin for "Master of the Soldiers") was a top-level command used in the later Roman Empire, dating from the reign of Constantine.
		This Magister Militum was often the power behind the throne and the office was held by Stilicho, Ricimer and others.
		There was an inevitable devaluation as a result a multiplication of magister commands, such as a division of foot - and mounted troops, under a magister peditum viz.

		The Magister Equitum was granted Praetorian imperium, thus was subject to the imperium of the Dictator, but in the Dictatorâs absence, he became his representative, and exercised the same powers as the Dictator.
		The imperium of the Magister Equitum was not regarded as superior to that of a Consul, but rather a par with a Praetor.
		Accordingly, the Magister Equitum had the insignia of a praetor: the toga praetexta and an escort of six lictors.

	b. Diocletian and the House of Constantine. 2001. The Encyclopedia of World History
		The imperial court (comitatus) comprised great numbers of officials which included a large domestic staff headed by a eunuch, various offices (officia), and a magister memoriae (master of records), all supervised to one degree or another by the magister officiorum.
		In 312 Constantine disbanded the praetorian guard; and the prefects, together with their subordinate vicars, lost all military functions which were transferred to a magister militum.
		Another contingent was permanently stationed on the eastern frontier under a magister equitum et peditum per Orientem, while the west was defended by another field army stationed in Gaul and commanded by a magister equitum et peditum per Galliam.

	Detail Page
		The magister equitum was an important military and political office during the Republic and in the Late Empire.
		Originally, the magister equitum was the deputy to the dictator, appointed by him to oversee various duties.
		There was, at first, distinction between the two positions, but by the reign of Constantius II, both magistri were called simply magister equitum et peditum, magister militiae or, most commonly, magister militum (master of the soldiers).

		His magister militum Ricimer was feuding with the magister militum of Dalmatia, Marcellinus.

	Roman Emperors - DIR Theodosius I
		[[1]] Theodosius the Elder was a senior military officer serving in the Western empire and rose to become the magister equitum praesentalis under the emperor Valentinian I from late 368 until his execution in early 375.
		One notes that Theodosius' magister peditum praesentalis Richomer was the uncle of Valentinian's magister equitum praesentalis Arbogast, who was effectively the sole commander of Valentinian's forces at this point.
		Although Stilicho managed to increase the power of the magister peditum praesentalis to the disadvantage of his colleague the magister equitum praesentalis and claimed that Theodosius had appointed him as guardian for both his sons, this tells us more about his cunning and ambition than it does about Theodosius' constitutional arrangements.

	Aetius
		The figure of Aetius might seem misplaced in a novel dealing with the Pendragon legacy--and perhaps seen as bizarre in a historical aspect also--but Aetius had both direct and indirect connections with events surrounding the early-to-mid fifth-century period and Rome's ties to Britain.
		Constantius III, the direct link to the Pendragon legacy, was a close comrade with Aetius's father Gaudentius; Gaudentius was stationed in Rome as Magister Equitum for Honorius, while Constantius III was Honorius's Magister Militum.
		Aetius also became a Magister for Galla Placidia (who had married Constantius) after the death of her half-brother Honorius, and remained her Commander until after her death.

		Scholars show that the West died when Romulus abdicated and sent the Imperial regalia East saying it was no longer needed, it should be pointed out that Romulus was never recongnized in the East as Emperor of the West and the last recognized one, Julius Nespos, would continue to rule from Dalmatia until 480.

		Gone was the traditional division between legionaries (citizen heavy infantry) and auxiliaries (non-citizen light infantry and cavalry), to be replaced by a new distinction between the elite troops of the Emperor's mobile field army, the comitatenses and the lower status (though not necessarily less effective) limitanei or frontier troops.

		In addition they were to visit as many governors and military commanders as possible and announce the successful end of the Persian campaign and Jovian's succession.[[8]] Malarichus, however, refused his commission, and Lucillianus traveled on to Rheims where he began examining the accounts of one of Julian’s officials.
		In response to this insult and the ill treatment their envoys received at the hands of the magister officiorum Ursatius, the Alamanni invaded Gaul in 365.[[20]] At the same time Procopius began his revolt against Valens in the east.
		This embassy did buy time for Valentinian’s magister militum, Bauto, to fortify the Alpine passes against Maximus.[[12]] Probably at the urging of Theodosius, the court of Valentinian entered into a treaty with Maximus in 384, whereby Maximus was recognized as a legitimate Augustus in return for leaving the young Valentinian in power.
