'Magister' is not a third declension noun. It is a second declension noun like 'ager' and it is declined in the same way. See discussion of case-endings and Perseus where the plural 'magistri' is quoted in a number of original texts. Alan 30 June 2005 04:50 (UTC)
The Magister Militum was usually the power behind the throne and the office was held by Stilicho, Ricimer, Odoacer and others.
Was Odoacer a Magister Militum ? It doesn't sound like that from the articles. Tintin ( talk) 15:18, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
He was. The only 2 noteworthy de faco rulers are Ricimer and Aetius though. Stilicho didn't do much and Odoacer became king of his Italian state in 476 if I'm correct. MMFA ( talk) 13:17, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
Aetius was awarded the Title "Comes et Magister Militium" so it should be changed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MMFA ( talk • contribs) 19:16, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
AFAIK, only magistri peditum, magistri equitum, and magistri armorum are attested before Theodosius, and the system of magistri peditum and magistri equitum lasted somewhat longer in the west. 96.231.17.131 ( talk) 21:24, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
That Constantine created the magistri is stated by both John Lydus, De Magistratibus reipublicae Romanae 2.10; 3.40, and by Zosimus, Historia Nova 2.55.
