The true power behind Rome was their logistical expertise, their ability to transmit and receive information, the roads that allowed for their armies and citizens to travel freely very quickly.
It’s often the simplest things that lead to dominance in a culture or civilization, Rome was built on its roads.
We see the same thing with the current political, military, and economic dominance with the US’s logistical expertise, their military is so dominant because they have the capacity, to feed, fuel, transport and house their entire military even under siege and at the frontline in war extraordinarily quickly and efficiently.
The US was technologically inferior to the Germans in WW2, yet German POWs remarked on how even under siege the American soldiers had fresh food being delivered to the frontlines under fire while the German soldiers were rationing what little they had left despite being superior in firepower, skill and technology and knew they stood no chance of winning.
It is often stated by soldiers who have survived combat against the US, that they rarely remember seeing the soldiers fighting and instead remember constant bombardment and artillery and that by the time soldiers came into view they were already defeated

You know an ancient era army is effective when you realize your soldiers win more than they die so they have to increase the retirement age
@iniesta8856
Facts, in most ancient armies, surviving two battles made you a general.
@Ake-TL
Iniesta 8 that’s sounds like BS

Акежан Толеухан actually while I think it’s an exaggeration, it wouldn’t surprise me. Due to lack of quick communication, generals would have to be in the thick of it to direct the troops, which would mean a higher general casualty.

@@bogustoast22none25 Actually, roman generals WEREN'T in the thick of things, something that greeks in the time of Philip V thought was cowardly. This proved advantageous to the romans, for example in the Battle of Cynoscephalae this allowed them to outmanouvre the seemingly invincible phalanx. Also, casualties in ancient battles actually were quite low, especially for the Victors (for example, Alexander lost about 1 000 killed out of an ary of close to 50 000 at the Hydaspes, which is considered his bloodiest battle). Annihilations like the one at Cannae were the exception, not the norm.

Imagine living as a legionaire at the height of Romes prosperity. On campaigns for 12 years living and experiencing every extreme and inbetween that the world throws at you. Discipline, hardships, fear, pain, power, tragedy, victory and glory. That is truly living on a level we cant know. Centurions and legionaires did that and even survived it all. Their mental and physical strength was probably intoxicating at times.

Revolting Revolver66 I mean idk man that just seems a little bit pessimistic
@uncleouch9795
They weren't alone in such endeavours. It was just their time. Like all other empires. Sooner or later, things change. Mismanagement by Rulers, Governments, Moral Changes, etc.

@Revolting Revolver66 i think we need another world war to get us back on our feet
