I would distinguish between the late roman army before the heavy losses at Adrianopel/Frigidus around 378/394 AD and afterwards.
I tend to agree with that, but I constantly encounter literature and texts that re-assure me that Adrianople was "no big deal" and that are virtually silent as to the losses of manpower during the Gothic War and the civil wars/battles at Save & Frigidus. Wasn't everything was hunky dory after Theo "reunited the Empire"? :lol:
