Description

"The 'Bathhouse Boys' defend the Emperor, pursuing his enemies to an agonising end."

As the Eastern Roman Empire became more distinguishable from the West, and as the West collapsed atop its failing military, the East evolved, making alterations to the structure of its fighting force in order to survive. One such change was that many more elite troops - called 'tagma', meaning 'to set in order' in Greek - were kept as professional garrisons at the capital, Constantinople. The 'Numeroi' were one such unit. Also known as the 'Bathhouse Boys' for their chosen base of operations, they were charged with the defence of prisons, the palace, the vaunted 'invincible' walls of the city and, eponymously, the Baths of Zeuxippus. There was also a more clandestine sect among them, known as 'portatioi', who worked in the shadows as official Imperial torturers...
