The Roman War Machine.4of4.Barbarians at the Gate (1999)

'Barbarians at the Gate' documents that by the second century AD, the people they had vanquished had developed territorial ambitions of their own. In this final episode the steady decline of the Empire is sketched, the military reforms of Diocletian and Constantine are touched upon, as is the process of barbarisation of the army, before the collapse of the Western Empire in the fifth century.
