I skipped this entire thread:
However, the invasion of Hannibal Barca showed that Rome would not fall without expending it's entire populous on the battlefield.
Crushing defet, after crushing defeat, after crushing defeat... Rome continued to pour numbers at Hannibal. After his fall, Carthage was razed to the ground, the inhabitants slaughtered or turned into slaves and their fields were salted to stop Carthage rebuilding.
A modern, small, military force vs. Rome? Yes, they'd win a lot of battles, but they'd never beat the Empire through strength of arms.

There's some delight in ale and wine,
And some in girls with ankles fine,
But my delight, yes, always mine,
Is to dance with Jak o' the Shadows.

Well I ain't first class
But I ain't white trash
I'm wild and a little crazy too
I have seen a lot of things in my life time.
That is why I walk the line I walk.
