The three men inspire the themes and chronological organization of

peace follows that and focuses on how soldiers celebrated victory,
mourned defeat, and readjusted to civilian life after a war. The

addition to university students, researchers and history
enthusiasts will have the opportunity to follow the military lives
of three Roman soldiers with this unique book.
