I would agree except for the following point.
1.) By the 5th Century (to the fall of the West) I think the army would not have looked the way you described. Before say 415 I agree.
2.) The army also grew in a huge way (numbers wise). I think any time you have a larger army the quality will decrease. It becomes harder to manage and train such a huge force imo....even with todays communication and technology.
