Romano British or Late Romans uniforms

Last night I spent several hours talking with my old friend Antons about Romano Britsh and Dux Britanniarum.   Anton has painted up a huge amount of Romano troops.   Remembering I had the rules he thought be the time to Dux a go.   It seems between us we have a group number of Saxons, Normans, vikings and etc.  Looks like time to dust off the troops.   During the search on my computer for the rules I found a large number of images have for the Late Romans.   Here they are.
