Marius instituted military reforms that contributed significantly to the breakdown of the Roman Republic. The Marian reforms added to the numbers of standing armies by opening up to the lower classes. The reforms also provided retirement benefits through the soldierÕs general. In practice, this made the foot soldier more loyal to their general than to the state. This led to the conditions of the time period of CaesarÕs Dictatorship.
