"The Romans tried to do that in the 4th and 5th centuries with the Franks, Visigoths, Ostragoths, etc. It failed when the army, whose generals filled their ranks with barbarians and then fought each other for the imperial purple, revolted and carved their own kingdoms out of the western provinces."
