Description
The Complete Roman Army by Adrian Goldsworthy A comprehensive study of the Roman military system, this book examines the organization and tactics of one of history's most successful fighting forces. From the early imperial army to the citizens' militia of the Republic and the later Empire, the author draws on archaeology, ancient art, and original documentary sources to present a convincing history of the Roman army. The book explores the daily lives of ordinary soldiers, whether in peaceful garrisons or in arduous campaigns, as well as key battles and tactics. With a focus on the context of Roman military success, this study provides a detailed understanding of the Roman army's enduring legacy. Key to understanding the Roman army's remarkable achievements is its organization and tactics, which were highly advanced for their time. This book offers a unique insight into the lives of these soldiers and the engineering skill that enabled them to build spectacular monuments like Hadrian's Wall and the siegeworks around Masada.
