"Thus he was able to pay the barbarian mercenaries who consisted most of the contemporary Roman Army" should read "Thus he was able to pay the barbarian mercenaries who comprised most of the contemporary Roman Army."

The language on this page is quite stilted and formal. Is this page copied from Gibbon's book? --mgaved 15:32, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
