AD455 - the fall of the Roman west?

[Nathan Ross]

Actually it's not stated what ethnicity they were.

Thanks. I know it's difficult to determine ethnicity by names, but I'd seen them described as Huns before (in secondary sources). The end result was the same either way!

There may have been some Roman forces but the evidence says the majority of them were destroyed or deserted over the course of 451-455.

If so, it's further weight to the theory that the western empire (or the political and military authority of the western emperors) came to an end in 455, right?

After that, it was just various barbarian groups and warlords, and their puppet rulers, fighting over the ruins...
