Moira (military)
Moira (, pronounced ''míra'', plural ) is a Greek term for a military formation. Etymologically, it is derived from the roots
*μερ- and
*μορ-, which mean "to part". ''Moira'' therefore means "a part, a division", and is cognate with the similar term ''meros''. In the Byzantine period, it was used to denote brigade or division-sized commands, while in the modern Greek military, it is used by some branches to designate battalion-sized units.
==Byzantine usage==
In the late 6th to early 7th century, the Late Roman military system, which was still in use by the East Roman or Byzantine Empire, went through a process of martial transformations that culminated with the establishment of the new military-administrative theme system in the 680s. Every major division, called a ''thema'' (Greek: θέμα), was further divided into ''tourmai'' while each ''tourma'' was divided into ''moirai'' or ''droungoi'', which in turn were composed of several ''banda''. Thus each ''moira'' or ''droungos'' was the analogue of a modern regiment or brigade, initially circa 1000 men strong (and hence also referred to as a ''chiliarchia''), although on occasion it could rise to 3000 men, and Emperor Leo VI the Wise (r. 886–912) is recorded as having established ''droungoi'' of only 400 men for the new smaller themes.〔.〕
