If you were a victorious Roman commander you had the lions share of the loot from your conquest. Being a victorious commander was also a step up the political ladder for some and a source of wealth and social prestige for others.
There were multi advantages for someone who commanded a Roman army, that is, if it were a victorious Roman army. As Rome was a militaristic society, there was great honor associated with commanding an army. A victorious general was a hero, big time. He raised his own prestige and that of his family. There was also the loot involved. The commander got the "lion's share" of it. Most commanders went on to some type of political career after the army and having commanded men, was a big plus in politics. Coins were many times issued after a victory and the general and his victory would be transported all over the empire. So, honor, prestige, loot, politics, and fame could be five advantages.
