Abstract:Magistrsko delo obravnava proces vstopanja pripadnikov "barbarskih" ljudstev v poznorimsko vojsko od 3. do 5. stoletja ter njihov vpliv na transformacijo Zahodnorimskega cesarstva. Delo temelji na kritični analizi pisnih virov, od Amijana Marcelina in Zosima do pravnih tekstov, kot je Notitia Dignitatum, ter na sodobnih arheoloških spoznanjih. Tretje stoletje je pomenilo prelomnico za Rimsko cesarstvo. Politična nestabilnost z več kot dvajsetimi cesarji v petdesetih letih je bila spremljana s hudo inflacijo. Zunaj mej so se oblikovale nevarne zveze barbarskih ljudstev, kot npr. Hunov, Alanov in Gotov. Enotnost je bila ponovno vzpostavljena pod Dioklecijanom, ki je uvedel tetrarhični sistem vladanja in ločil vojaško od civilne službe. Ključni zgodovinski dogodki vključujejo prihod Gotov čez Donavo ter katastrofalno bitko pri Adrianoplu leta 378, kjer so Goti rimsko vojsko na vzhodu premagali. Cesar Teodozij I. je leta 382 z Goti sklenil prelomno pogodbo, ki jim je omogočila avtonomno naselitev v Trakiji. Ta ureditev je postavila temelje za nastanek poznejših germanskih kraljestev. Naloga analizira tudi različne kategorije "barbarskih" naseljencev. Posebna pozornost je namenjena terminološkim vprašanjem, saj so se izrazi pogosto prekrivali in spreminjali. Vojaška oprema poznorimske vojske kaže na sintezo rimskih in "barbarskih" vplivov. Arheološki dokazi kažejo, da materialna kultura ni omogočala jasnega razlikovanja med Rimljani in "barbari", saj so se vplivi širili predvsem iz imperija v "Barbaricum". Kariere uspešnih vojaških poveljnikov barbarskega porekla pa dokazujejo možnosti družbenega vzpona skozi vojaško službo. Raziskave kažejo, da je bila integracija barbarov premišljena vojaška strategija, ki je cesarjem omogočala ohranjanje vojaške moči kljub demografskim izzivom. "Barbarstvo" poznorimske vojske je bilo v veliki meri umetna konstrukcija, ki se je črpala iz klasičnih etnografskih stereotipov. "Barbarska ljudstva" niso bila zgolj uničevalci rimskega reda, temveč aktivni oblikovalci novih političnih in družbenih struktur v post-rimskem svetu.

Title:The integration of "barbarian" peoples into the Roman army during the late antiquity
Abstract:This Master's thesis examines the process of integration of members of "barbarian" peoples into the late Roman army from the 3rd to the 5th century and their impact on the transformation of the Western Roman Empire. The work is based on critical analysis of written sources, from the chronicles of Ammianus Marcellinus and Zosimus to legal texts such as the Notitia Dignitatum, as well as contemporary archaeological findings. The third century represented a turning point for the Roman Empire. Political instability with more than twenty emperors in fifty years was accompanied by severe inflation. Beyond the borders, dangerous alliances of barbarian peoples formed, such as the Huns, Alans, and Goths. Unity was restored under Diocletian, who introduced a tetrarchic system of rule and separated military from civil service. Key historical events include the arrival of the Goths across the Danube and the catastrophic Battle of Adrianople in 378, where the Goths defeated the Roman army in the East. Emperor Theodosius I. concluded a groundbreaking treaty with the Goths in 382, which allowed them autonomous settlement in Thrace. This arrangement laid the foundation for the emergence of later Germanic kingdoms. The thesis analyzes various categories of barbarian settlers. Special attention is given to terminological questions, as terms often overlapped and changed. The military equipment of the late Roman army shows a synthesis of Roman and "barbarian" influences. Archaeological evidence suggests that material culture did not allow for clear distinction between Romans and "barbarians", as influences spread primarily from the empire into "Barbaricum". The careers of successful military commanders of barbarian origin demonstrate the possibilities of social advancement through military service. Research shows that the integration of barbarians was a deliberate military strategy that allowed emperors to maintain military strength despite demographic challenges. The "barbarism" of the late Roman army was largely an artificial construction drawn from classical ethnographic stereotypes. "Barbarian peoples" were not merely destroyers of the Roman order, but active shapers of new political and social structures in the post-Roman world.
Keywords:barbarians, integration, inclusion, Roman army, late antiquity, army commanders, 4th century, 5th century
