Rome’s DEI policies that welcomed immigrants to serve in the military.

The Roman Empire's breakup in 286 AD was preceded by 50 years of great internal turmoil, beginning with the assassination of Emperor Alexander in 235. Over those 50 years, 40 different men claimed the title of "Imperatoris."

During that period, Rome's greatest enemy was their own army. But it wasn't exactly outsiders, or "barbarus," who served in the army, but rather inhabitants of their colonies who replaced Romans and Italians in the ranks. Even before the collapse, the Roman legions were not manned by Germans!
