Answer:

Mercenaries

Step-by-step explanation:

As the Roman Empire grew the defense became more and more difficult, to help to protect the Empire many soldiers were not Roman citizens, instead, they were paid to fight as mercenaries. They would receive a third of a legionary wage and also received a promise of citizenship after 25 years of service if they survived.
