    Default Foederati info Inquiry

    Can anyone tell me all the groups (like the franks or visagoths) that have participated as foederati in the late roman army? Thank you.

    I think it's these: Picts, Franks, Goths, Ghassnids, and bits and pieces from smaller tribes. Sometimes (I'm given to believe) an entire tribe would be enlisted and sent far across the empire (to reduce thoughts of rebellion). But I'll defer to the resident scholars here for the details
