I suspect Dave might find this interesting at the very least.
Nothing outrageously new but several things pulled together
It's one of my favourite articles on the subject. I really buy into the premise and the overview timings of the greater Roman world events makes complete sense
As an aside I also buy into the Constantius III leading or authorising a military expedition in the late 410s

It would make sense for him to send troops back to secure his base, if only to stop his troops mutinying and going back mob handed to sort things out
It all depends on what was there....as I suspect it was probably only laeti and limitanei so any rebellions/sloping off/incursions would be difficult to resist/coordinate
