Cohort commander?

[Burzum]

Was there a shortage of men? Yes. Was the Roman Army any less effective because of it? No. Garrisons were moved around, Vexilliationes were created and positioned, the Garrisons were withdrawn to re-enforce the field army for major threats, and then put back, and so on and so forth.

I just don't accept that.


You claiming that even with few men the Roman army remained effective. Yes. They were, but there weren't sufficient amount of men in order to keep the territories and ward off the barbarians.

You cannot have an effective Roman legion battling on border garrisons and winning a few battles incrementally. You have to inject fresh blood in places of the fallen.

I don't accept what you said.
