Foederati

in ancient Rome:

(1) Communities allied to Rome and usually referred to as socii (“allies”).

(2) Barbarian tribes that entered Roman military service and served on the borders of the Roman Empire. In return for their service, they received border lands for settlement and money payments. Their importance was greatest during the fourth and fifth centuries A.D.
