How did the romans who all looked like this defeat anyone militarily?
>>18055870What the fuck are you babbling about?
They were digging a lot of ditches and burning a lot of Teuton witches
Organization, good equipment and strategy beat the unorganized, ill-equipped, and badly led every single time. It doesn’t matter how tall and buff the losers are.

>>18055870The pen is far mightier than the swordEspecially when you spend all night writing out how to build trebuchets Not to mention Italia wasn’t where soldiers were conscripted from once things got rollingItalia became a powerhouse for art and literature, leading to weak fat dudesThe heavy lifting was done by recruits from across the empireThey were good a governmentBar bars good at rock banging
Looks don't have to do with anything. Rome built fleets quickly, adapted tactics, and ultimately destroyed Carthage through strategy and persistence, and all of its soldiers looked like cavemen.
they didn't look like that they looked german.

>>18057233You don't even know what a German looks like you ugly mullato from New Jersey.
The Gallic Wars by Julius CaesarBook 2, Chapter 30 And on the first arrival of our army they made frequent sallies fromthe town, and contended with our men in trifling skirmishes; afterward,when hemmed in by a rampart of twelve feet [in height], and fifteenmiles in circuit, they kept themselves within the town. When, vineaehaving been brought up and a mound raised, they observed that a toweralso was being built at a distance, they at first began to mock theRomans from their wall, and to taunt them with the following speeches."For what purpose was so vast a machine constructed at so great adistance? With what hands," or "with what strength did they, especially[as they were] men of such very small stature" (for our shortnessof stature, in comparison to the great size of their bodies, is generallya subject of much contempt to the men of Gaul) "trust to place againsttheir walls a tower of such great weight."
The Gallic Wars by Julius CaesarBook 2, Chapter 31But when they saw that it was being moved, and was approaching theirwalls, startled by the new and unaccustomed sight, they sent embassadorsto Caesar [to treat] about peace; who spoke in the following manner:"That they did not believe the Romans waged war without divine aid,since they were able to move forward machines of such a height withso great speed, and thus fight from close quarters; that they resignedthemselves and all their possessions to [Caesar's] disposal: thatthey begged and earnestly entreated one thing, viz., that if perchance,agreeable to his clemency and humanity, which they had heard of fromothers, he should resolve that the Aduatuci were to be spared, hewould not deprive them of their arms; that all their neighbors wereenemies to them and envied their courage, from whom they could notdefend themselves if their arms were delivered up: that it was betterfor them, if they should be reduced to that state, to suffer any fatefrom the Roman people, than to be tortured to death by those amongwhom they had been accustomed to rule." tl;dr Roman legionaries were like army ants
