Aetius and the Western Empire

[Flavivs Aetivs]

Vandals at Panormus in 440

Yes I knew that; I meant just Alans and Franks.

Franks at Tournacum in 448 (Majoran is recorded to have participated in that one)
Suebes in 448
Alans in 447

Were those major actions? Heather said Aetius kept much of the army in Gaul out of fear of the Huns, which doesn't sound plausible to me.

Also - according to Hydatius the bulk of Vitus' forces were goths in 446, which suggests he didn't send a very "Roman" force at all.

Yeah I was aware the force included Visigoths, and it wasn't surprising the bulk of the force consisted of them. Wouldn't be surprising if Aetius used them, or some barbarians, to fight Franks and Alans too.

In chronicle of 452, I think it is, is the reference to Tournai in 448 with majoran. It says majoran was leading "Roman cavalry" in the battle, so it was indeed roman forces.
