Details
This well illustrated book collects material from a vast array of Osprey's titles on the Roman army, editing and reformatting it into a coherent whole. The development of the army is treated chronologically, with information on military equipment, recruitment, training, strategy, and tactics in battle and in defending the imperial frontiers. Case studies of particular campaigns such as the conquest of Gaul, and battles such as Cannae or Adrianople round out the volume.
