Six Numeri for Honorius

[Aussum]

Indeed! And why can't I read Latin, or Greek, or French, or Italian, or...

Nathan,
I knew there was a reason I felt comfortable in this forum!

I agree with your assessment that the Gallic Field Army was in Italy with Stilicho fighting first Alaric and then Radagaisus.
But, your question about these 4000 men forming the cadre of a reinvigorated field army and Stilicho scrambling to field
30 units to face Radagaisus makes be wonder about the ND.  It lists dozens and dozens of units available to both Magisters.
Yes, the West is in constant crisis.

So, is this a case like the late-war Wehrmacht where battalions are actually the size of platoons and all the proud units in the ND
are actually ghost formations, or, is this a case of the Roman Army being garrisoned to death - plenty of men around, but none
can be spared for the field army?  There was a prior post discussing that topic (started by you, I believe) and it seems that there
must have been a massive effort involved to concentrate the various units scattered around the Po Valley.
