High Imperial Roman army vs Late Roman army

Quote:Although I would argue that if Aetius was commanding, the Huns would tear a Principate Army apart.

Ah, but I'd like to see a Caesar, Marius, or Scipio put to that test.

In all honesty though, even as a pro-Republican kind of guy, I do think that the weaknesses of the late Roman military are often exaggerated.
