IIRC, millets are members of the genus Panicum and panic is a large seeded
form of millet.  Panic is specifically mentioned in Charlemagne's villa
inventory.  

The most common millets today are foxtail, pearl, barnyard, and proso.
Foxtail is the most common in the US.  Proso is the most common in Asia,
according to my sources.
