Original Note:
Non-citizens in the roman army increased the whole time, not just near Empire's fall. They served from the beginning, named auxilia, and their numbers kept growing to the point of surpassing Legions around II century, far before Empire's fall (~476 AD). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auxilia#Deployment_in_the_2nd_century https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall_of_the_Western_Roman_Empire
