Welcome to PAATH History…
The expansion of the Roman Empire over several centuries had yielded the resources required for maintaining a huge army. By the second century CE the possibilities of further expansion were exhausted. On the other hand after Marcus Aurelius the empire had to pursue a defensive policy with regard to the Germanic tribes. Military organization on such a gigantic scale necessitated heavy taxation by the state. The collection of these taxes required a large administrative apparatus. That was one of the reasons behind the crisis of Roman administration.
