The Roman War Machine

Roman war machines set clear boundaries between humans and nature through their military camps. Polybius explained the Roman military system as an organization different from the Greek military system. The Greeks "adapted the camps to the benefits of nature", but the Romans imposed themselves around. Each camp is unified to speed up communication and organization. From the position of the consular flags, without the instruction, the whole camp can achieve uniformity of mass production of the Industrial Revolution Factory.

There were few people who thought that the effectiveness of Roman fighters was greatly impaired by the scale of the empire. The logistics of war material has become very complex and huge, and the number of support personnel including many soldiers has increased exponentially, and these soldiers never saw the battlefield in their lives . A lot has emerged. As a result, the efficiency and overall performance of the Roman system is further reduced.

During the Roman Empire, the Roman army was a very powerful "military war machine" (Nardo 259) which conquered the majority of the world known for that era. The army of the Roman Empire was the best organization, organization and maintenance of the army of 31 BC - 400 AD BC. According to the size of the Roman Empire, there are about 50 million people, the army is relatively small. The Roman army consists of three main units: Corps with ancillary corps, Praetorian Guard and Fleet. Each branch of the Roman army has its own characteristics, which is different from other branches. Its structure and leadership made it the most powerful then.

One of the main reasons for the collapse of the Roman Empire was the continuation of war and massive military expenses. Constant war requires a lot of military expenses. The Roman army suffered from excessive stress and needed more and more soldiers. Conquered barbarians and other foreign mercenaries were allowed to join the Roman army. One of the main reasons for the collapse of the Roman Empire was the understanding of Roman military tactics by barbarians. Knowledge of the Robesque war and military tactics gained by barbarians through their service in the Roman army eventually ended up against the empire and eventually led to the removal of Rome by Visigoths led by the former soldier Alaric.
