The sheer numbers of the incoming peoples overwhelmed the Western Roman Empire at a time of internal disruption. It was accentuated by the Romans enlisting Goths into its army, and at the time of the overthrow, the Roman army commander Ovoacer was a Goth who deposed and replaced the emperor Romulus.
The main disadvantage of being in the Roman army was, for some, the loss of the rights of Roman citizenship. A wayward soldier could be flogged and even crucified in extreme cases. The personal freedom, such as civilians enjoyed, was denied him as he had to obey orders. There were also long enlistment hitches and after discharge, a period of five years when he had to be on reserve. Despite all the discipline, marching, being away from home, many men remained in the army, reenlisting as they loved the life.
