The Dacians: Rome\'s Greatest Enemy?
#84
No way.

If we going to label a true enemy and one that actually proved to be a thorn in the Roman empire, I'll have to say the Celts and Picts.

The Teuteberg massacre and battles similar were once off incidents and poorly led by low quality command.

If we see the financial contraints that Roman Britannia put the Empire through, then we see the first signs of a diminishing empire. And this vividly accurate but this is a theory more than a opinion of mine.

As far as actual historical evidence for this is concerned, I think one needs to look at what happened to the Empire after the fall of Boadicea, the Empire after that battle went through gradual decline in incremental stages.

I know for a fact that Nero poured tons of denari into the battle of Britannia it actually wasn't necessary and proved to be a huge waste of funds that were with out a doubt needed to secure other areas of Rome's Empire. It was because the Romans clinged onto Britannia and kept pouring denari into it, it actually drained her and put her into a debt crisis.

I mean we talk about recession now, that was the start of it. Britannia gave birth to an ancient recession, and I see nothing has changed even today LMAO.


I am not saying it was the soul cause of the decline, no, there was the entire empire causing it, but Britannia that Nero and others had a fetish with, ultimately caused the unseen force that pushed the Empire in a dreaded economical collapse.
