Description
Roman Military Signalling by David Woolliscroft provides an in-depth study of the techniques used by the Romans to convey information over long distances. This is the first English-language exploration of Roman signalling, drawing on classical manuals and expert knowledge. As Director of "The Roman Gask project," a long-term programme to study the Roman frontier, Woolliscroft brings extensive experience to this subject. His expertise in air photography complements his understanding of Hadrian's Wall, making him well-suited to examine the complexities of Roman signalling. With 128 pages of detailed information, this book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the military history of ancient Rome and its communication systems.
