Roles of Ricimer and Aspar: Germanic generals

[guy]

Here is a good video by Maiorianus on the roles that two Germanic generals played (Ricimer in the Western Empire) and Aspar (in the Eastern Empire) during the 5th century. I knew about Ricimer but Aspar was little known to me. The Germanic general Aspar had a pernicious influence on the Eastern Empire for almost a half century during the reigns of Theodosius II and Marcian until Leo I had him killed in AD 471.
