    Lemurmania: I believe that auxilia troops became Roman citizens upon surviving 25 years of service.

    Who knew that Gawain had pinned down the entire reason for the decline and fall of the Roman Empire?
    Who knew that Lemurmania would misread me as usual and say I made such a claim. It was one reason not the only one.
