This documentary reveals how the Roman Empire bankrupted itself defending borders that were supposed to make it rich. The Germania frontier required 150,000 soldiers at 900 denarii each—135 million denarii annually. But the provinces generated only 80 million in tax revenue. Every kilometer of border was a loss leader. Every successful defense was a financial defeat. When expansion became unprofitable, the empire stopped working.
The lesson isn't that empires shouldn't defend borders—it's that successful systems create their own constraints. Every strategic asset becomes a strategic liability when maintaining it costs more than it's worth. History doesn't repeat, but if you don't understand it, it'll crush you all the same.
