Troops in Rome, AD408-410?

[Flavivs Aetivs]

Or how about private guards, bucellarii? Many a wealthy man had an armed guard, no matter the laws against this practise. The numbers of these bands would grow until by the 6th century they had become quite large (e.g. in the case of Belisarius) and later they even became a sort of regular regiment.

I just mentioned that above, private retainers of landlords is likely, but actual Bucellarii had only just come into use under Stilicho; they did not yet seem to be widespread.

Also, the Vigilium of Rome is mentioned in ND Occ. IV 4
