One drawback to living in the Roman Empire was the rampant corruption and political instability within the government. This often led to a lack of effective governance, economic hardships, and social unrest among the population. Additionally, the vast size of the empire made it difficult for centralized control, resulting in disparities in wealth, resources, and access to basic necessities among different regions. The constant state of war and military expansion also resulted in heavy taxation and conscription of young men, leading to further economic and social pressures on the population.
