The image of the Roman legionary is as familiar today as it was to
the citizens - and enemies - of the vast Roman Empire two thousand
years ago. This book goes beyond the stereotypes found in popular
culture to examine the Roman Army from the first armed citizens of
the early Republic through the glorious heights of the Imperial
legions to the shameful defeats inflicted upon the late Roman Army
by the Goths and Huns. Tracing the development of tactics,
equipment and training, this work provides a detailed insight into
the military force that enable Rome to become the greatest empire
the world has ever seen. As well as describing the changes in the
army over the centuries, The Roman Army also sheds light on the
talented men who led these soldiers in battle and the momentous
battles fought, including Cannae, Pharsalus and Adrianople.
Illustrated with detailed maps, artwork and photographs, this
volume provides a complete reference to the Roman Army from the 8th
century BC to the period after the fall of the Western Roman Empire
in the 5th century AD.
