There has been definitely cruel and harsh times always through history, but the military service of Rome was an opportunity even for the nobodies to achieve financial security. There was a lot of volunteering. Yes obviously is risky, but you dont have much possibilities especially in the past do you? Being in the army meant the possibility to get a pension, a home and land, citizenship for you and your children, without mentioning the huge learning and personal development that you would get from the experience; they were only great soldiers. 25 years to fairly achieve security literally from nothing in the age of no security?

I love history and this teaches me a lot and its realy fun and I enjoy it a lot. This is like a Long walk down a museum learning new things. Now I have more things to tell to my friends online. I also learn other things from back then like blood eagle and other torture methahoods. I enjoy learning more in the long line of history.

Its so crazy how advanced and intelligent the romans were way before their time, its a shame all of it was lost and thrown into the dark ages again when Rome was sacked

dude, Arminius was not a germanic chief, he was a roman auxiliary officer who betrayed his country. Typical TED-Ed is one of the worst sources of factual education.

Note that soldiers only received land in return for service towards the decline of the empire. For a long time before that, you had to own land in order to serve.
