Ostrogothic Kingdom (The Last Roman) Military Tier 6

Compulsory Levy

Comprehension is not vital to compliance. Nor is willingness.

Recruitment for late Roman armies was much different to that of the earlier Roman state, which was far more geared towards fighting. As the Empire expanded, more and more non-native peoples were admitted - mainly from barbarian tribes. These tribes helped form the Legions, as well as providing their services as 'foederati'; Roman allied forces. Over time, particularly in the Eastern Roman Empire, barbarian troops became incorporated into the standard structure of the Roman army, as in the cases of the Vandals and Tzani. However, ad hoc conscription, 'dilectus', was still employed to create a levy of troops from the common Roman men, replete with provisions and state-provided equipment. Although more distanced from the military, the civilian populace was not quite free of military invention in their lives.
