MA Ermor is like the Roman Empire during its fall. The legion is in shambles, not the proud institution of an earlier era.

I agree with your distinction, but the equstrian order was an important part of the roman army (composed by the top social class in Roman society), from the republic era to the later imperial era (400 AD), in some manner we can consider it an invariant element in the -otherwise - very changeable army composition.
Thanks for your opinion,
