Quote:It's debatable actually. The Roman Army of the west likely numbered (estimate of course) around 90,000 men total in 395. The Notitia Dignitatum was written roughly in 420 in the west, and with a firm hold on Africa the Army likely numbered 60,000 under Constantius III and Aetius (prior to 439). Afterwards Aetius probablt had about 30000 men spread throughout the empire..

Apparently there was a big difference between the number of troops they could afford to pay and the number they actually had, in the WR army. That's why they had to hire Huns in the 430s, and needed 10,000 as far back as 409.
