Young men have been conscripted for military service since militaries/navies have existed: Rome, Greece, Genghis Khan, Attila the Hun, Napoleon, etc. all drafted young men; young healthy males are easier to train, are tougher, more determined/aggressive (and have the strength to carry out that determination/aggression) then older males. Older men tended to be NCOs (Non-Commissioned Officers=Sergeants), and Officers (experience & wisdom verses brute strength).

The first official mass US Military draft was during the American Civil War (aka US Civil War) 1861-1865. The last US military draft was the Vietnam War 1961-1975.

Who had to serve in the roman army?

All free men were supposed to serve in the Roman army. However, just because one was eligible to serve, did not necessarily mean he had to serve. During peacetime, the army generally had enough volunteers to keep its ranks fairly full. When there was trouble, though, more men were needed to be trained and fill the ranks. In these circumstances officials went around drafting young men for a military career.All free men were supposed to serve in the Roman army.
