What attracts you to Late Rome?

Many barbarians did indeed support and want to be part of the empire, the alans under Goa and Sambida were good examples, and so were the Brittones of Armorica who left Britain because wanted to remain a part of the Empire. The Frisians in the 4th Century were loyal citizens after they had fled the destruction of their homeland, its possible they even fought at Chalons (Jordanes records Saxons, which may have been a reference to Frisian LAeti who had been settled in Flanders and Kent throughout the 4th century.)

Unfortunately they were overshadowed by other groups in the empire--Vandals, suebi, visigoths, burgundians--who were cooperative only intermittently at best and basically couldn't be trusted.
