Best Answer

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.
