However, the millenium had not been good to it, and the Emperors were, more often than not, too poor to maintain it properly. The newly prosperous nobles, private citizens, and Church have pledged donations. Now the time has come to make use of the cultural revival of the 14th century and the Byzantine resurgence of the 15th century."

Soldiers were enrolled in each theme, and given a grant of land from which to maintain himself, plus a stipend. The grants were large enough for infantry to support themselves and their families, while cavalry and sailors could afford to hire tenant farmers to work the land. They were always on call for defensive duties, besides their annual spring training and occasional offensives; unlike mercenaries, they would fight very fiercely to protect their land. The system worked very well, increasing the size and effectiveness of the military, raising the prosperity of the countryside by creating a class of small freeholding farmers, and reducing government expenses."
