Well, I always remember some things about Germanic-Roman wars:
- The extermination of Teutons in Aquila Sextiae (Aix) I century
B.C. by Mario ? 
- How Caesar convinced his soldiers when they were afraid of the 
height and fierceness of Germani. He just told them to fight
as always they'd done: grouped and structured.

Romans were far superior to Germanic people. But entropia is 
entropia, sooner or later the pool of entropia, that East Europe
was, broke the order of the Roman Empire.
 
When Germanic people learned how to fight, like Danes in the IX
century, in real armies, they were able to conquer Britain. 

Don't compare Romans of the V century A.D. with Romans of II B.C. .
