Federate Forces
They are not Romans, but fight as if they were. Rome can ask no more.The Roman state had always used barbarian allies and auxiliary forces to augment and reinforce the backbone of its standing armies, but as late antiquity bloomed, the 'foederati' of the Roman state shifted in parameter. Never under the direct command of a Roman, but instead commanded by their tribal leader, they were essentially barbarian warbands with access to state salaries. There were many within the Roman administration that viewed this as an unacceptable sullying of the army’s effective strength, yet the foederati served an important purpose by increasing and solidifying the Empire’s military presence across its vast territory. The tribal warriors, however, did gain a noticeable amount of power, which was key to the Western Roman Empire's eventual undoing.
