The Comes Britanniarum (Latin for "Count of the Britains") was a military post in Roman Britain with command over the mobile field army from the mid-4th century onwards. It is listed in the List of Offices as being one of the three commands in Britain, along with the Dux Britanniarum and the Comes litoris Saxonici.^[1] His troops were the main field army (comitatenses) in Britain and not the frontier guards (limitanei) commanded by the other two.
