They were highly disciplined, with intelligent and effective commanders, were issued good quality equipment, and were well trained in the use of their equipment and effective combat formations and manoeuvres. The Romans also made a point of learning as much as they could about their enemies prior to engaging them in combat so they could take advantages of the enemies weaknesses and take contingencies against their strengths.
Of course this was not always the case, most of the major defeats of the Roman army can be traced to failures of one or more of these factors.
The Roman army was so successful, because they had well trained men. They build camps were the soldiers were trained. It didn't matter if you were a cavalry, an Artillery operator, and Infantry, an Archer or an Auxiliary soldier. In the camps you trained with weapons which were double so heavy as in real life so later on when you were in a war it would be easier for you to handle all the different weapons. You were also trained to walk a few kilometers with your weapons in marching format. You were also taught how to build a stable camp in a short time.
The Roman army gained its strength from its physical and mental training. The physical training was carried out in a twice daily routine. The mental training was a partner to the physical as the Roman soldier was psyched out to win because of his superior training and equipment. They also believed that the gods were on their side and if their faith began to waiver, their general always gave them a pep talk before any battle reminding them of their superiority, the weakness of the enemy and that the gods were on their side as the omens were (always) good for battle.

so they would not have to enlist in the army
No, but there were women with the Roman Army. Officers, centurions, and some soldiers were allowed to marry, and there were also women who stayed in the army camps and followed them on the march.... for various reasons.
The Roman Republic was successful at expanding its borders for many reasons. One of those reasons is that unlike most other "civilized" nations, city-states,etc...,the roman army did not use a phalanx formation. The roman legion was much more flexible, and much faster. It was also very successful because it was very advanced for its time.
The Roman army had to carry all of its gear wherever it went, so the soldier often had to carry very heavy packs, like a mule.
The Roman hierarchy in the beginning was separated into 2 levels. The Patricians: They were BORN into this family. So they are nobles. Then the Plebians: These people where mainly artistans or peasants. Then when the Roman Empire had started 2 more levels where added. The Middle Class: People who had started as Plebians but had now made buisnesses and where making money but not as much as the Patricians. And The Army: They obviously went to the army.
The Roman army was so successful in executing their battle tactics due to their discipline. They held their ground in situations where the enemy would break and run. Training, discipline and the will to win were all ingredients in an army's victory.
The Roman army was so successful because of their strict discipline, rigorous training, and their will to win. They also had the best equipment and the "high-tech" weapons of their time and they knew how to use them.
because of who ruled it.
The Roman army was so successful with their training because they used a three pronged approach to training and motivation. It goes without saying that the army was healthy and physically fit (at least in its heyday). They were trained in the use of weapons and artillery and honed both their physical conditioning and weapons skills daily. Physical discipline was liberally used, adding to the motivation for the men to "get it right". The Romans also were possibly the first to use psychological motivation. The addresses or "pep talks" given by the commanders before battles are ones of Roman superiority and the enemy's weakness.
The Roman army was so successful due to their discipline and training. The discipline was to follow orders (obviously) and their training was not only in the use of their weapons, but also a psychological one. Their officers told them that they were superior to their enemies, that they were Romans and therefore could not lose. The omens or signs that were taken before each encounter were always good and even if they lost a battle, they would come back and win the war because the gods were with them.
because they were so organized.because there were so many different positions.because they had the best weapons.because they had the best training.
The Roman army was professional and a career lasted 16 years at first, and later 25 years. Therefore, it received thorough and continuous training and military drills were routine.
The roman army was so successful in battle because of their superior training, both physical and psychological. The physical training, besides the standard strength, endurance and javelin aiming accuracy, was also many times supplemented by training from ex-gladiators who contracted with the army to teach one-on-one techniques. The phychological training came from the commander's speech given before every engagement, that not only smeared the enemy, but reinforced the Roman belief that they simply were better than any enemy and could not lose.
They were so successful because of their rearmament, discipline, techniques and tactics. They also had great weapons and rewards like pension and food.
I think the question you are going for right now is, Why was the macedonian army so successful?
The Roman army had superb discipline due to their training, both physical and psychological. They also had severe punishments for breach of discipline. So a recruit in the Roman army soon leaned to "do as he's told and to shut his mouth".
Pay attention in your history class! The army's conquest of territories, construction of bridges, aqueducts and roads, and their peacekeeping presence should be evidence of their success.
