As the Roman Republic (and later Empire) developed, tours of duty in the army lasted up to 20 years. One was constantly marching with many kilograms of gear to carry, rarely settling in a comfortable camp or city for the night, and forever fighting for your life in gruesome melée warfare. One was also underpaid to encourage looting.
But this was only during the late republic and early principate. The long marches all but stopped during the Pax Romana and permanent forts were built. The army was mostly used for police and building work for most of the time. There have been reports of some legionaries never seeing a battle in their 20 years of service.

∙ 11y agoFarming was difficult because everything was manual labor - there were no tractors or combines to pull a plow or harvest the crop. Also, there were no artificial pesticides to keep bugs down, no herbicides to kill weeds (they were pulled by hand), no fertilizers to boost production (manure would be spread by hand), etc.
It was very labor intensive; this type of farming is still practiced in much of Africa and rural South America.
