The Roman Army: A History and Legacy of the Military that Revolutionized Ancient Warfare and Made Rome a Global Empire The Roman army is one of the most famous fighting forces in history, forged from a once obscure Italian city that went on to encircle the Mediterranean and cover half of Europe. Its physical presence can still be seen today, from the mountainous borders of Scotland to the arid deserts of Egypt. The Roman army's legacy is far greater and more enduring than its physical presence. Its influence continues to shape the political, legal, and cultural landscape of Europe to this day. The iconic image of the individual legionary, with their uniformed, disciplined appearance, is instantly recognizable. Their abilities as warriors, engineers, and administrators have made them role models for other soldiers through the centuries. The Roman army's commanders, such as those of Julius Caesar, are still celebrated and studied, and generals around the world have tried to emulate their tactics. This book explores the history and legacy of the Roman army, from its recruitment and training to its equipment and commanders.
