I always thought that due to the adoption of the latest military system, legions became very self sufficient which made them more more loyal to the commander they served under rather than any government of a capital they never saw much of, making loyalty to the state quite scarce.

No. Their society had fallen far too low by then. It had nowhere to go but down

All these Caesar fanboys tsk tsk, to me the Res Publica is when Rome was at its best.

No matter how incredible the Roman army was, they could not dare attack African empires.. They had to wait to invent weapon of mass destructions before attempting to colonize Africa..
