The bandon (Greek: βάνδον) was the basic military unit and administrative territorial entity of the middle Byzantine Empire. Its name, like the Latin bandus and bandum ("ensign, banner"), had a Germanic origin.[1][2] It derived from the Gothic bandwō,[1] which is proof of foreign influence in the army at the time this type of unit evolved.[3]
