In a single volume, Roman Republic at War catalogues and offers a
brief description of every significant battle fought by the Roman
Republic between 480 and 31 BC (and most of the minor ones too).
The information in each entry is drawn exclusively from Ancient
texts, in order to offer a brief description of each battle based
solely on the information provided by the earliest surviving
sources which chronicle the event. This approach provides the
reader a concise foundation of information to which they can then
confidently apply later scholarly interpretation presented in
secondary sources in order to achieve a more accurate understanding
of the most likely battlefield scenario. In writing the battle
descriptions, the author has not sought analyse the evidence
contained in the surviving accounts, nor embellish them beyond that
which was necessary to provide clarity to the modern reader. He
allows the original writers to speak for themselves, presenting the
reader with a succinct version of what the ancient chroniclers tell
us of these dramatic events. It is an excellent first-stop
reference to the many battles of the Roman Republic.
