You cannot undertake imperial expansion without a strong and well organised army. Rome's military prowess was a key factor in her building a vast empire which was the 15th largest in history. The Roman army was/is famous for its efficiency, tenacity, ruthlessness and ability to win many battles and conquer many territories. The Roman army was already a formidable force when it was a citizen militia. In 107 BC it was turned into a professional standing army where soldiers served for 20 years and were trained and drilled regularly and were given standard military equipment. Rome' s military strength was bolstered by the troops of allied peoples who served in auxiliary forces which supported the Roman legions. The auxiliaries more than doubled the pool of military manpower available to Rome and provided the bulk of the cavalry. Auxiliary soldiers served for 25 years. Rome had the largest military manpower in Europe and the Mediterranean. Only the Carthaginians could match it in the earlier days and later on only the Persians could match it.

Why did Byzantines still think of themselves as Romans?
Byzantine and Byzantine Empire are terms which have been coined by historians to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part. The so-called "Byzantines" did not use this term. They called their empire Empire of the Romans or Romania (this referred to this empire and not the country which was later called Romania) or Rhomais in Latin, or Basileia Rhomaion or Rhomania in Greek. They called themselves Romans because they were still the inhabitants of the Roman Empire. They did not even use the term eastern Romans, which is often used by historians. Western and eastern Roman Empire are also terms which have been coined by historians. The Romans and the peoples in the Roman Empire only used the term Empire of the Romans. The term Byzantine was chosen by a German historian in the 16th century as a derivation from Byzantium, the Greek city which was redeveloped, turned into the imperial capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire and renamed Constantinople by the emperor Constantine the Great in 330. It is used to indicate the fact that not long after the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire, this part of the empire became centred on Greece and Greek in character after it lost most of its non-Greek territories. Greek replaced Latin as the official language of this empire in 620, some 150 years after the fall of the western part. This term has been in common use in Western Europe only since the 19th century.
