In spite of the benefits of Roman rule, it did not always rest easily on its subjects. Taxes, trade restrictions, religion, and the conduct of Roman legionnaires made for frequent points of contention, with the Romans uncongenial toward potentially rebellious locals being armed and organized for their own defense.

The rebellious locals don't have descendants, unless they're found in Italy, where the survivors of such uprisings ended their lives as slaves.
