What threats to the roman empire appeared in th 200s 300s and 400s?

The threats to the Roman Empire during this period were attacks through its vast frontiers from outsiders. In the west the Franks and Alemanni raided the areas in Gaul near the frontier of the river Rhine and (the latter) Switzerland. The frontier of the River Danube in southeastern Europe were attacked by Marcomanni and other neighbouring Germanic peoples in central Europe. Later it was attacked by the Goths (a Germanic people) and the Scythians (Iranian-speaking peoples) from the east and, later still, by the Huns who had settled in Hungary. In 406 the Vandals, Sueves, Burgundians (Germanic peoples) and Alans (an Iranian-speaking people) from central Europe crossed the river Rhine and invaded Gaul. The Alemanni took advantage of this to take over Lorraine (in northwestern Gaul) and Switzerland. These invades plus the Franks (who had been allowed to settle in southern Holland and Belgium) and the Visigoths (who had been allowed to settle in the eastern part of the Roman Empire and then moved to southwestern Gaul ) took over all the continental lands of the western part of the Roman Empire except for Italy.The Angles, Saxon and Jutes from northern Germany and the Frisians from northern Holland migrated to Britain in waves at took it over. Along the Asian frontiers of the Roman Empire there were wars with the Parthian (Persian) Empire.
