Description
The Roman Special Forces and Special Ops Speculatores, Exploratores, Protectores and Areani in the Service of Rome by Simon Elliott. This book sheds new light on the lesser-known units employed by the Romans for covert operations. The author reveals the types of special missions conducted by these specialist units, including tactical scouting, espionage, assassination, counter-insurgency, and close protection of Roman officials and commanders. These men played a crucial role in the Empire's success, serving as its eyes and ears. By examining the evidence for these specialist units, Elliott draws parallels with modern conceptions of Special Forces. Hardcover, 176 pages.
