An Exultet Roll was a form of large manuscript largely limited to southern Italy. This example from the 980s illustrates ‘The Army of the Emperor’. (Exultet Roll from San Vincenzo al Volturno, Vatican Library, Ms. Lat. 9820, Rome, Italy)

'The Army of the Emperor' in an Exultet Roll manuscript from San Vincenzo al Volturno, made between AD 981 and 987. In addition to short-hemmed mail hauberks, these soldiers have large or small round shields and spears but no apparent swords. Their helmets also seem to include very old-fashioned cheek-pieces. (Ms. Lat. 9820, f.19, Vatican Library, Rome)
