One drawback to living in the Roman Empire was the constant threat of invasion and warfare. The empire was constantly expanding its borders through conquest, which meant that its citizens were always at risk of being caught up in conflicts with neighboring tribes and empires. This led to high levels of insecurity and instability for many people living within the empire. Additionally, the heavy taxes imposed by the Roman government to fund its military campaigns often burdened its citizens and contributed to economic difficulties for many.
