Caesar's Army in peace and war
Students of military history have long been fascinated by the
history, armies and great commanders of ancient Rome; for within
its organisation, strategy, tactics, weapons, campaigns and wars
are to be found the origins of each of the military disciplines,
demonstrated by often sophisticated methods and practices,
developed millennia in the past and yet still able to provide
valuable lessons to strategists and tacticians in the modern world.
Rome had a long history and in keeping with all empires marched a
Hard road to its zenith before commencing an equally long decline.
We often look towards the period of Gaius Julius Caesar and his
legions to appreciate the Roman military machine in some of its
finest hours. This book is an invaluable guide for those interested
in the Roman Army during Caesars time. It details army
organisation, weapons and equipment. It examines the Legions and
the cavalry in detail both on and off the field of battle. Tactics,
fortifications and siege engines are fully described, as are
methods of fighting afloat. Finally, the enemies of the Roman
Empire, from the Gauls to the ancient Britons, are considered and
their battle tactics and fortifications examined. In this Leonaur
edition the illustrations from the original edition have been
enlarged to assist the reader and maps of notable campaigns,
battles, sieges and marches are also included.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each
title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our
hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their
spines and fabric head and tail bands.
