Why did the martial vigor of the Romans decline in the late Roman Empire? Had the Romans become decadent and lazy, as Edward Gibbon famously implied in his classic "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" ? Was the martial spirit of old gone, the Roman blood weak, and thus there was just no strength left in the native Roman population, so that the Western Roman Empire had to recruit more and more barbarian mercenaries that would fight in the service of Rome? Well, I hope that I will be able to show you in this video, that Gibbon's view is really outdated, and the reasons as for why the Roman martial spirit had seemed to decline, are manifold.
