Best Answer

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.

Did soldiers have to stay in the Roman army for at least 25 years?

With the creation of a standing professional army by the Marian reforms on 107 BC, the career of the Roman legionaries lasted 16 years. Augustus extended this to 20 years. Soldiers could also be recalled to serve 5 years as reservists. Many soldiers served for 30 to 40 years. The legionaries were Roman citizens. The Romans also had auxiliary troops. These were troops composed of non-Romans who were allies and supported the Roman legions. Their term of service was 25 years.

How many men did the Roman army have at the height of the Roman Empire?

30 legions 6000 men in each legion = 180,000 This figure is a maybe number and that's the best that can be done because your question is too vague. What do you mean by the greatest extent? The empire? The army itself? If you mean the empire, 30 legions are probable, but it you mean the army itself, there's a different number. When Octavian won out over Antony, he accumulated about 44 legions. (with 5-6000 in each legion) so the army itself would be much larger than 180,000.
