I 've started reading "Barbarians Within the Gates of Rome
Study of Roman Military Policy and the Barbarians, Ca.375-425 AD" and already in the first pages I read about Laeti. The author seems to indicate that those men where rather common by the time of the Valentinian and Valens on the Lower Rhine.
But I seem to remember from another source that not much is known about the status of the Laeti.
Someone can shed more light to this?
