Translation: 'The fortunate Theodosians'. Apparently they were heavy infantry. Why they were 'fortunate'? Well that's another story.

How interesting. It seems the Brachiati Seniores (another senior western infantry unit) had the same design (but in green).

Of course this is all probably connected to some great conspiracy dating back to Charlemagne, Clovis and the Merovingians. ;)
