They rose to power extremely fast, and controlled a ridiculously large area for a ridiculously large time. Nobody holds the Romans up as ethical role models.

speak for yourself
personally i believe that if you bring running water, cheap food, goods and public order to people you've done more ethically than any faggot tribal chief or tyrant who gave "freedom" to people.

They didn't let barbarians settle because they were christian(in fact, religion wise, they hated their guts because they were arian heretics).
They let them in because pagan Rome kinda lost the Gothic War and let the pagan germanics settle wherever they wanted, and afterwards, replacing military and demographic losses with northern barbarians became a kneejerk reaction.
