@brettachapman *Context in 1886 when Geronimo was captured, the U.S. Army was a small, volunteer force primarily focused on the Western frontier, with a total size estimated at fewer than 30,000 active troops. So a third was less then 10k troops.
@romanhistory1 while there was an effort to keep bakers and other professionals from leaving their trades to join the Christian priesthood, it was part of a larger governmental concern about workforce stability and happened during the reign of Julian the Apostate, not in 364 AD.
