Ostrogothic Kingdom (The Last Roman) Military Tier 14

Militarised Society

The will of the army is furnished by the work of the people.

Whilst both the Eastern and Western Roman Empires deployed their armies along the same organisational lines, as time progressed the East stratified its civilian and military infrastructures, whereas the West became a more militarised society. The rise of 'ethnic' identity, as opposed to 'biological' identity, became the basis of recruitment there. Rome's barbarian clients were responsible for raising and managing their own armies, with little or no public finance from the state. As a result, barbarian culture bled across the divide, and the social status of a warrior was raised once again as civil and military lines blurred and the facade of a purely 'Roman' Empire began to crumble. Once the Western Empire collapsed, this happened in reverse, as Romans of barbarian descent found themselves with the right bloodlines to occupy powerful positions within the new kingdoms.
