On a normal march it covered 25 miles in a day. On a forced march it would cover greater distances.
The battleground was six or eight miles from an encampment William's army had just set up in Hastings, so it was not a long march, especially considering how far the Anglo Saxons had to march, which was hundreds of miles. William's army was mostly made up of men from Normandy, France, and Flanders, who had arrived to points across the channel from their homes by whatever means. Some came from as far as southern Italy, so as individuals, they had travelled varying distances.
the roman empire stretched from the Atlantic ocean to the Caspian sea.
No and far from it.
As fighting increased, the government could no longer enlist and pay Romans as soldiers. It began using Germanic warriors in the army. The Roman government used the Germanic warriors as auxiliaries just as they used other foreign troops. The Germanic troops proved loyal and dedicated even after the Varus disaster. Because of their large size, the German troops made effective ceremonial guards. The German guard was the personal body guard corps of the Roman emperors and their families.
The bad aspects were the usual ones of joining any army: the risk of death, mutilation or injury, the harsh discipline and being stationed far away from one's family. Apart from this, joining the Roman army was advantageous. The poor joined the army voluntarily because it gave them a career (initially it was 16 years and then it was extended to 20 and 25) a pay and a pension. The latter came in the form of either a sizable lump sum of money (mumnaria missio) or the grant of a plot of land to farm (agraria missio) on discharge.
