Aetius and the Western Empire

[Flavivs Aetivs]

The Cities were fortified, or had fortifications constructed, and seemed to be protected by the Army itself; Notable Examples being Aetius' Army and Bucellarii at Arelate, Massilia and Narbonne, Marcellinus' Army at Salonae, and Aegidius and the Gallic Field Army managed to protect Novidunum (Soissons, capital of that Area), Aurelianum (Orleans), Lutetia Parisorum, and the other towns/cities betweent he Seine and Loire until 487.

Toletum seems to have had a Garrison after Merobaudes was appointed Master of the Soldiers of Spain by Aetius. (For a pangeyrecist he did a good job too, except for Vitus' Defeat)

The Field Army Rescued Aurelianum (as far as we know, Iordanes says the Huns attacked the city, others say they were scared off when Aetius came) in June of 451 by raising a Wall around it and garrisning there before it was attacked by the huns.
