The following article discusses the Goths in Aquitaine in 5th century being resettled as veterans and not under foederati/hospitalitas arrangements.

On Foederati, Hospitalitas, and the Settlement of the Goths in A.D. 418 Hagith Sivan pp. 759-772 American Journal of Philiogy

Are there any other sources on this subject (excepting the references to the article which are nearly all the contemporary ones) on foreign troops being given veteran status and therefore veteran rights, or are the Goths of Aquitaine the only people to receive that status?

(excuse my ignorance but I am a first century AD person normally... )

Both the Alans of Sambida (Sangiban) and Goar (Eochar) recieved Veteran status when settled by Aetius in 440 and 442.

BTW could you Email me that Article? I could really use it.

Herwig Wolfram “The Visigoths in Aquitaine" is a good paper regarding the settlement of the Goths in Aquitaine, I can email that to you in a day or 2 when I find it on my portable hard drive.

You will need to register and log in to put it on your 'shelf'. You can have three articles at a time, I believe.

Gallic Chronicle of 452, not sure of the exact text though. Will try and find it.
