Description
Brave Roman legionaries are liberating a Germanic village from terrorists. Germanic insurgents are depicted resisting arrest (punishable by death), resisting sexual advances and wearing provocative clothing (punishable by rape) and violating housing regulations (punishable by arson). In the foreground, a social services worker is depicted liberating a child, who will be given a better future, a trade, and life time job security somewhere in the Roman Empire.

Yeah, you'd think many other nations did that sorta thing too...
Off the top of my head, achaemenid persians, HRE, british and others. It depends on how you define 'mercy'.
It was actually rare to actively slaughter the conquered, hence one of the reasons the mongols were so unique. As for rome itself, you should ask what happened to carthage.

Roman Legions were ruthless, however the Roman civilization and government is fascinating.

Lump East Prussia together with Poland and eastern Germany as the Russians didn't discriminate between Germans and Poles; they were equally horrible to both. :/

Great job, but back then everybody was like that, less or more, Germans have never been victimized by Romans as much as the Greeks and Carthaginians were. Rome might have been cruel to west Europeans but their Romanizations entailed more advantages than harms, a good example of it is the post-Roman Britain.

That can be said about every civilization in history 
Romans are considered as the founders of the Western civilization, and in many ways it's true, their knowledge, organizations and principles were the rudiments that helped the Germans building the very first medieval states!

Stimmt, aber Rom war nicht immer ein Feind des Deutschen, vergiss nicht es war immerhin das weströmischen Reich, das Europa, einschließlich die Germanen, vor Invasionen der Hunnen geschutzt hat. Ohne das fortgeschrittene römische Militärwesen und die genialität von Flavius Aëtius hätte keiner von uns heute Deusch sprechen können

Klar, ich hab nicht behauptet dass die Römer irgendwie heiliger waren oder so, die haben auch natürlich wie jeder andere zuerst an ihren eigenen Vorteil gedacht. Mein Punkt war dass Rom hat den Germanen mehr Vorteile gebracht als Nachteile, besonders da sie niemals das gesamte Germanien erobert konnten!

Well, never fret; those German tribes will get the chance to go and civilize the Romans right back in another couple of hundred years......

The Germanic tribes(not "German")were doing exactly the same things to the Romans at that time.

Arminius fought against the Romans when he saw what they did to his people.
And defeated 3 legions at the Teutoburger Wald, which helped Germania to be never
romanized luckily^^

That's quite the opposition of "liberation", it's more like a form of lesser genocide.

First time I have ever been called a troll outside of a few video games, by friends of course. No, I'm just joking.
