Payment in Gold
Gold; the purest form of wealth. Man's greatest strength and his simplest weakness.The system of 'foederati' originally made the Roman Empire powerful, aiding in their subjugation of barbarian tribes. However, as time went on, it helped to cripple them as they were forced tor rely more and more on barbarian federate forces to fight their wars for them. Proximity to the Empire often meant that it was simply a matter of time before a people came into their sphere of influence, and so it was with the Slavs. The Anteans, close to Eastern Roman borders, were offered foederati status in exchange for gold and military service - a bulwark against the marauding steppe nomads. As a result, the Romans gifted the Anteans a fort on the strategically important Danube river. They were also expected to take part in Rome's wars, which they continued to do until destroyed and assimilated by the Avars in the 7th century AD.
