The following article discusses the Goths in Aquitaine in 5th century being resettled as veterans and not under foederati/hospitalitas arrangements.
On Foederati, Hospitalitas, and the Settlement of the Goths in A.D. 418 Hagith Sivan pp. 759-772 American Journal of Philiogy
Are there any other sources on this subject (excepting the references to the article which are nearly all the contemporary ones) on foreign troops being given veteran status and therefore veteran rights, or are the Goths of Aquitaine the only people to receive that status?
(excuse my ignorance but I am a first century AD person normally...

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!
