[2.83] Patrician Roman 425 AD – 493 AD This list runs from the accession to power of Aetius until the Ostrogothic move to Italy, which destroyed Odovacar’s western army, and ended the east’s dependence on barbarians. It is a period in which generals struggled not to become emperor, but a puppet emperor’s C-in-C with the title of “Patrician”. As well as the armies of the central governments of east and west, it also covers the western Roman kingdom of Soissons created by the rebellion of Aegidius, last magister militum per Gallias, against a “barbarian” government in Rome in 461 AD, and conquered by the Franks in 486. The main source is Vegetius, writing sometime before 450. Legions had shrunk in size and given up first place to unarmoured auxilia with big shield, spatha, javelins and darts, supplemented at least in the west by fast moving exculcatores (“squashers”). Foreign cavalry methods were considered superior and an influx of Huns recruited into regular units after the break-up of Attila’s empire in 454 may have finally led to the bow replacing the javelin as the main mounted missile weapon. The change was complete by the start of the Early Byzantine list. The last mentions of clibanarii/catafractarii are in Claudian’s account of events of 395, and by Vegetius. Many Germanic barbarians were recruited into regular mounted and foot units, but these were increasingly supplemented by “foederati” under their own leaders. The traditional view is that these remained irregular troops fighting in their native styles, but it has recently been suggested that Roman organisation, equipment, clothing, and to a more limited extent training, rapidly crept in, as was certainly the case later with Byzantine foederati. They were not allotted land until 476. Odovacar used field defences against the Goths. Isaurians are described as like Lykians, as undisciplined, as “fast-running” and sometimes incorrectly as archers, from the cognomen of Legio Prima Isaura Sagittaria. This army can offer an interesting and powerful combination of steady regulars and fierce barbarians under regular generals.
