The farmers who made up the Roman army dwindled in numbers, so that by the time of the Germanic invasion, there were insufficient to repel them and it became necessary to recruit the non-propertied class. After discharge they had no farm to return to, so they had to rely on their generals to get them land or jobs, which empowered the generals and led to the civil wars.
