The Complete Roman Army

By Adrian Goldsworthy

"'The best one-volume treatment of the subject now in existence.' — *Historian*

This comprehensive study chronicles the Roman army, history's most successful military force, from its Republican militia origins through the early and late Empires. It examines their advanced organization, tactics, and enduring engineering feats (Hadrian's Wall, Masada), alongside the daily lives of soldiers in garrison and combat. Drawing on archaeology, ancient art, and original documents, the book details key battles, tactics, and commander biographies.

Includes 107 full-color and 147 black-and-white illustrations."
