Ostrogothic Kingdom (The Last Roman) Military Recruitment Level 4

Royal Barracks

In the name of your king, you will fight!

During the Principate of the Roman Empire, both the Legions and attached auxilia mostly consisted of volunteers. Whilst the conscription of men into the army wasn't unheard of, it was reserved for times when the Romans desperately needed the additional manpower. As the Imperial Crisis of the 3rd century AD abated, however, and the Empire moved into its despotic late period, conscription rose in step with the Roman people's reduced interest in fighting losing battles for their Emperor. A mandatory levy was placed on the sons of men already serving in the military, as was an additional means-tested method of conscription extended mainly to the sons of the peasantry. This of course meant that much of the Empire's city populace was largely exempt. In addition, rules and restrictions on the type of men who could be enlisted were loosened, so that more people could join an army that, due to public indifference and faltering military prowess, was facing a crisis of manpower.
