I believe the Roman army was well paid, had a prestigious status in society, and had superior tactics in battle, using superior weapons, and perhaps most important was able to fight as a unit. But as Rome expanded it didn't do a great job in assimilating "the barbarians". Over time they became incorporated in the Roman army, acquired its weapons, and perhaps most important learned its tactical methods for fighting as a unit. Thus, over time, the Roman army lost its advantage, which led to the demise of the Empire. How correct is my thesis? TIA, AG
