"The organization of territory into themes began under Emperor Heraclius, who stationed troops in three large districts under the command of military governors (stratēgoi). Soldiers were settled in the themes as farmers, helping to build a permanent citizen army." [Britannica]
Yes, it's no longer thought the themes go all the way back to Heraclius, and whether the full eighth- or ninth-century system of civilian-military government was present from the very beginning is also doubted now.
Aha - yes I see the Britannica article I quoted from was written 23 years ago. A generation of scholarship since then.
I mean, maybe they do date back to Heraclius. You just don't have clear references to them until much later.
