The Complete Roman Army draws on archaeology, ancient art and original documentary sources to present the most convincing picture ever published of the world's most famous fighting machine. Every aspect of the Roman army, from the daily lives of individual soldiers to the outcome of major campaigns, is explored in five accessible sections. Discussions of key Roman battles, hundreds of illustrations and brief biographies of the great commanders bring the campaigns and personalities to life.

The first book to examine in detail not just the early imperial Roman army, but the citizen's militia of the Republic and the army of the later Empire
