Whilst is seems the integration of the Gallo-Roman military in the second kingdom seems fairly certain, what is your view of the integration of the Gallo-Roman military in the First kingdom? IIRC Drinkwater: 'The Usurpers Constantine III and Jovinus' he says that following the fall of Jovinus there was a savage cull of aristocrats and Gallo-Roman 'military' that had lent their support to the Burgundian/Alan enterprise. I wonder to what extent the Burgundian force acted in concert with these forces and whether they lingered under Burgundian influence posy 414AD? Indeed what could these Gallo-Roamns forces have been?rodgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16473415308682630607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229429962085472284.post-4118095262282695712010-01-07T15:23:15.517-05:002010-01-07T15:23:15.517-05:00Rodger, for pre-406, you may find some value in my...Rodger, for pre-406, you may find some value in my posts from early last year <a href="http://theburgundian.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html" rel="nofollow">HERE</a>. They were basically of the war band model, though certainly influenced by Roman military due to their exposure along the limes and later as auxiliaries. This probably carried through until they were assimilated into the Merovingian nation.
