Titus Livius: The Military In Ancient Rome
Based on the historical writings, I’m referring to Titus Livius:
“... if any people ought to be allowed to consecrate their origins and refer them to a divine source, so great is the military glory of the Roman People that when they profess that their Father and the Father of their Founder was none other than Mars, the nations of the earth may well submit to this also with as good a grace as they submit to Rome's dominion.”
The military in ancient Rome is the foundation block of the Roman state, society and economy. As also said by Titus Flavius Josephus (Williamson, G. (tr.), Josephus, The Jewish War, 1959, p. 378
): The Roman people are "born ready armed”.
Rome existed and accomplish so much compared to the other ancient civilizations
