The fall of the roman military power

[S SEVERUS]

The begin of the fall of the western empire is also to blame on Theodosius the Great. Instead of exterminating or expelling the Goths he just left the whole tribe inside the empire. And his succession after his death was bad because his two sons were not capable. The late roman army was a very efficient army but with the empire divided between two halves that weren't assisting each other it became very difficult for the West to keep paying it's army after the loss of so much territory or devastation of territory.
