The disadvantages of joining the Roman army are low pay and a long enlistment time. The advantages would be seeing the world and feeling pride in defending citizens.
Oh, dude, joining the Roman Army back in the day was like signing up for a really intense gym membership. The advantages were you got to travel, learn new skills, and potentially earn some sweet rewards. But, like, the downside was you could end up getting stabbed by a barbarian or have to march for miles in some uncomfortable sandals. So, you know, pros and cons, man.
The disadvantages are that the
Roman Soldiers have to march 32km in 5 hours with their battle and camping equipment.
They cannot marry for several years (20-24 years)
They have to serve for 25 years.
If there is a mutiny, the 10th soldier would be killed
Enjoy ;)

Yes, extremely. There was no greater honour in the Roman Empire than to serve it. The army embodied this principle in the highest manner.
