* a Comes rei militaris of ( Mauretania -, but not mentioning that part of the name ) Tingitana, also ranking as vir spectabilis, in charge of the following border garrison ( Limitanei ) commanders: Praefectus alae Herculeae at Tamuco, Tribunus cohortis secundae Hispanorum at Duga, Tribunus cohortis primae Herculeae at Aulucos, Tribunus cohortis primae Ityraeorum at Castrabarensis, another Tribunus cohortis at Sala, Tribunus cohortis Pacatianensis at Pacatiana, Tribunus cohortis tertiae Asturum at Tabernas and Tribunus cohortis Friglensis at ( and apparently also from, a rarity ) Friglas ; and to whom three extraordinary cavalry units are assigned: Equites scutarii seniores, Equites sagittarii seniores and Equites Cordueni,

Traditionally, Roman cavalry was neither heavily armored nor all that effective ; the Roman Equites corps were composed mainly of lightly armored horsemen bearing spears and swords to chase down stragglers and to rout enemies.

There appears to be some confusion about the term in the late Roman period, as armored cavalry men of any sort that were traditionally referred to as Equites in the Republican period later became exclusively designated as " cataphracts ".

The 5th-century Notitia Dignitatum mentions a specialist unit of clibanarii known as the Equites Sagittarii Clibanarii-evidently a unit of heavily armored horse archers based on the heavy cavalry of contemporary Persian armies.

These included Classici (" marines ", as most European camps were on rivers and contained a river naval command ), Equites (" cavalry "), Exploratores (" scouts "), and Vexillarii ( carriers of vexillae, the official pennants of the legion and its units ).

* High grade cavalry was also called Equites Illyriciani

The office was originally held by a freedman, but from the 2nd century AD and the reign of Hadrian, Equestrians ( Equites ) assumed total control after the reputation of freedman declined due to corruption.

The centurions were up before them and off to the Principia where they and the Equites were required to assemble.

Contemporary sources, however, sometimes imply that clibanarii were in fact a heavier type of cavalryman, or formed special-purpose units ( such as the late Equites Sagittarii Clibanarii, a Roman equivalent of horse archers, first mentioned in the Notitia Dignitatum ).

Following the victory of Constantine I over Maxentius ( for whom the Equites singulares augusti had fought ) at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge, the guard were abolished and the fort demolished.
