Western Roman Empire Missile Infantry

Noble Foederati Javelinmen

Not quite allies in the traditional sense, but not strictly part of the Empire either, foederati were tribal groups living just outside the borders of Roman territory who were bound by treaty to provide military support. In return, they received subsidies from the Romans, usually food. At varying times the Goths, Vandals, Franks, Alans and even the Huns fought for Rome as foederati. The main problem with the foederati system was that constituent tribes tended to become unreliable over time, especially after a change of leader. Famously, the Goths became foederati of the Eastern Roman Emperor Valens but then rebelled, utterly defeating his army and killing him at Adrianople in AD378. In turn, the loss of a large part of Rome’s standing army resulted in greater reliance on foederati troops, which ultimately hastened the end of the Western Empire. As Imperial authority weakened, and pressure from the marauding steppe nomads increased, many foederati moved inside Roman provinces.
