A mercenary is someone hired to temporarily serve in a foreign army, they are normally specialized fighters with a specific skill, for example, archery. Unlike an official soldier of an army, a mercenary doesn't serve for political interests but for money or any other personal interest.

In the Roman Empire, mercenaries were non-Roman citizens hired to fortify the Empire's borders from any external attack or offensive. If they served for 25 years, they were given citizenship and rewarded with a plot of land to farm in their retirement.

In what ways could the failure to enforce conscription weaken Rome
Schach [20]

Conscription means the forced enlisting of the people of a county into national services, the term is mostly used for military enrollments. In Rome the conscription was enforced to a certain or some certain classes of people which left a little choice for them to choose the skilled people. For example people chosen for military might have come from farmer class who know nothing about operating a war machine or anything about the war or military which ultimately weakened the Rome. If there are less farmers in the country that simply mean there is less food to process also, another was a country could get weak.

Or the elite class was left out who already were not contributing to the good of society.
