With the Western Roman Empire falling in the late 5th century AD, we might be inclined to believe that the late roman army was weak, ineffective, undisciplined and degenerate. In reality however, the late roman army is absolutely underrated. Ironically, the Western Roman Empire did not fall because the late roman army was ineffective, far from it, in fact until the very end, the Romans won impressive victories against the Barbarians, time and time again. The early legions and auxiliaries that we know of became the Comitatenses and Limitanei in the 3rd century AD, and they were actually really good at dealing with threats. Their gear changed as compared to the early legions, and cavalry was now much more emphasized. But until the bitter end, these legions won major battles, and as we so often analyzed, the West fell mostly because of the devastating civil wars, where entire legions were annihilated and never replenished, such as for example happened in the disastrous battle of the Frigidus River of 394 AD, where possibly up to a third of the Western Roman Legions died and were never replenished, thus severely weakening the Western Roman Empire.
