Nope. The empire expande so (”to reign entanglements”) that they ran out of pure sons of the Empire to fight for what they believed in. Rome had to hire mercenaries with no loyalty to Rome beyond the next paycheck. Too many foreigners getting a check from the empire, who cared NOTHING for the values and history of the nation. Sound familiar?
