Quote:The west fell because of money - the west never had the money to sustain an adequate defense force without help from the Eastern Empire's rich provinces of Egypt and Anatolia.

Dunno where Majorian got the money for his force of c 460, or what might've been accomplished had it not been "preempted" by Geiseric. Anyway, the Western Roman Empire of 445 CE was roughly comparable in geographical extent to the Roman republic at the start of the second punic war. Resources may have been comparable. Strange that the republic could field enormous armies, and ultimately overcome a more formidable opponent than Geiseric. Times sure had changed.
