Summary: 5 Stars
Are you new to Roman military history? Do you wish to understand how the Republic or the Empire of Rome fought their wars, won their battles, and armed their troops? No matter what your interest in Roman military history you need to start at the beginning. So start here - with the Republican Roman Army, from 200 BC to 104 BC. This time period is when the Roman soldiers developed into the military machine that the Empire would inherit. It explains about the use of the pilum and the Spanish sword, it examines the legion and how it fought in battle. A small book, with the wonderful artwork of Angus McBride, it is where you may wish to start when it comes to Roman military history, general military history, or ancient military history.
Summary of Republican Roman Army 200-104 BC (Men-at-Arms)
The principal source of information on the Roman Republican Army is the sixth book of the Histories of the Greek historian Polybius, written a little before 150BC. This engaging text by Nicholas Sekunda draws heavily on this vital source to outline the equipment and organisation of the Roman Republican Army from 200?104 BC ? a time when Rome was growing from a regional to a world power. With plenty of photographs and illustrations, including eight vivid full page colour plates by Angus McBride, this fascinating volume examines such topics as the Roman shield, helmets, the cuirass, greaves, the pilum, legion organisation, the principales and the tactics they employed.Rome Books
