Where was the Roman Army in AD408?

[nikgaukroger]

Eh... maybe... Modern interpretation of foederati suggests that by the 420's they were more similar to what they were under Anastasius-Maurice than what they were in the 4th century. 

I think that the recent view questions whether they ever were if fact "what they were in the 4th century" - assuming we can even call the view "recent" (I first encountered it in Burns' 1994 book "Barbarians Within the Gates of Rome").
