Yes, In the case of the vanguard and untill 1453, in service of the Eastern empire thus being a late Roman group it can be allowed, as long as the groups adhere to what we know of that era, both in armour and equipment as in symbols. A Theodosian group, a group portraying Alaric, Theoderic etc is well possible as are Burgundian tribes et cetera. However in Roman context one should be clear on the facts and not the what ifs. That means that it is perfectly allright to present yourself as Foederati or other barbarian groups in a late Roman context.

In a display area, as well as in the encampment area you should have a chronological order of encampments /battle displays, through which the audience can get a proper understanding of Roman History. This means that things i have seen happen for instance in Alae, which comprised Imperial Roman Cavalry mixed with late Roman cavalry should not occur or be allowed, period.

After the audience is gone, feel free to drink beers, mede and have fun amongst all periods in an anachronistic fashion. (this doesnt mean re-enactors cant roam about as "audience" in market stalls, buying food and beverages and as spectators of battles, it just means there should be a common order.
