The fall of the roman military power
#56
As has been said, Roman army at their best were far from unstopable, howvwer it also can be said that, without following Vegetius to the extreme, Roman infantry in the V century was considerably weaker than in previous centuries, a decline in discipline is visible in the fact that soldiers go plundering enemy camp in victory instead of executing the routed enemy, and by the VI century Roman infantry was worthless according to Procopius.
