Had this idea recently: let’s assume that after Majorian’s death, his generals ( Aegidius, Marcellinus and Nepotianus) decide to launch an attack against Ricimer during the period of interregnum between Majorian and Libius Severus ( which provoked their secession). OTL the Visigoths represented a problem for two of these general, however would it be possible for them to march against Italy and punish Ricimer? After their victory who would become emperor ( their are all eligible for the title but they could also appoint a neutral personality)? Would this stronger western empire ( no secession of Gaul, Spain and Illyria) be able to attempt a second invasion of Africa with better luck?
