When was Roman army at the height of its power?
#5
How is the Augustan army more "centralized" than the 2nd century army? Legions were placed on the border, if anything the army of Constantine would be the most "centralized" via Comiatenses.

Hmm the Era of the Good emperors saw the most stable economy and political structure. The Augustan army would be no more "aggressive" than the 2nd century army as Trajan conquered Dacia and Severus did to Mespotamia. For Tiberius would abandon the Germania conquests and Nero did nothing about the Parthian war.
