Many Ceasars tried to stop there expansion of the empire .Augustus Ceasar was the first to slow expansion after Varus his general in Germania was killed along with his 3 Roman legions. Augustus Ceasar had reduced the number of legions by half after he won the civil war .The loss of these 3 legions caused him to abandon the annexation of Germania short on cash Rome had a hard time stabilizing the frontier with Germania. If ROME had encorporated Germania into the empire at this time then the Germans would have been part of the empire and available to supply troops to the empire in its wars with PERSIA AND Islam.
