Dr Simon Elliott describes eight of the greatest, most decisive of the Roman Empire of the first to third centuries. The list includes battles fought from the highlands of Scotland and the forests of Germany to the deserts of the Middle East. They show how the vaunted Roman legions adapted to extremes of terrain and climate as well as a wide array of very different foes, from the wild Caledonian tribes to the sophisticated, combined-arms armies of Sassanid Persia with their war elephants and superb cavalry. Some of the battles even pit the Roman legions against their own kind in brutal civil wars. After an introductory chapter on the Imperial Roman army, detailing its organization, equipment, tactics and doctrine, the author moves on to describing each battle in detail. He sets the strategic context and background of the chosen engagement before analysing the size and composition of the opposing forces, also detailing the nature of the enemy faced. The manoeuvres leading up to the battle are described, followed by deployment and the course of the fighting itself. Finally, the aftermath and implications of the battles outcome are assessed. The well-researched and engaging text is supported by clear maps.

The ancient historian Polybius urged caution regarding writing about places one has not been. Author Patrick Hunt agrees, and this volume on ancient battles is informed by having walked most of the battle sites and having studied archaeological material associated with each of them. Combining expertise in archaeology, geography, military history, and Classical studies, he provides a fresh analysis of twelve conflicts of the ancient world that shaped subsequent history in the West. From the Late Bronze age to the Late Roman Empire and Early Medieval Era, this book examines in chronological order the following battles: ¢¢ Battle of Kadesh (1274 BCE) ¢¢ Battle of Ninevah (612 BCE) ¢¢ Battle of Marathon (490 BCE) ¢¢ Battle of Issus (333 BCE) ¢¢ Battle of Trebbia (218 BCE) ¢¢ Battle of Cannae (216 BCE) ¢¢ Battle of Cartagena (209 BCE) ¢¢ Battle of Alesia (52 BCE) ¢¢ Battle of Actium (31 BCE) ¢¢ Battle of Masada (73 CE) ¢¢ Battle of the Catalaunian Plains (451 CE) ¢¢ Battle of Tours (732 CE) Chapter formats for each battle include: battle map, background, discussion of topography, major commanders, order of battle of adversaries, battle chronology, unusual decisions, tactics, outcomes, and conclusions as to why each changed history.

Descriptions of every significant battle fought by the Roman Republic between 480 and 31 BC—and most of the minor ones too: “Amazing” (Books Monthly). The information in each entry of this remarkable book is drawn exclusively from ancient texts in order to offer a brief description of each battle based solely on the information provided by the earliest surviving sources that chronicle the event. This approach provides the reader a concise foundation of information to which they can then confidently apply later scholarly interpretation presented in secondary sources, achieving a more accurate understanding of the most likely battlefield scenario. In writing the battle descriptions, the author has not sought to analyze the evidence contained in the surviving accounts, nor embellish them beyond that which was necessary to provide clarity to the modern reader. He allows the original writers to speak for themselves, presenting the reader with a succinct version of what the ancient chroniclers tell us of these dramatic events. It is an excellent first-stop reference to the many battles of the Roman Republic. “An indispensable reference guide for any student of the Roman military.” —The NYMAS Review

Gaius Julius Caesar cut a twenty-year swath across Europe, Africa, and Asia, the result of which was the end of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman Empire. He was one of the first Romans to ever set foot in Germany, took the capital city of Rome with no bloodshed, installed Cleopatra to power, and was so feared that many of his bitterest enemy's chose suicide, rather than face him in battle. Caesar was a brilliant tactician, but was also an extremely lucky guy, and Ancient Rome: The Great Roman Civil War goes to great lengths to frankly discuss which victories during the five years of the Second Roman Civil War were which. You will be surprised to learn just how often Caesar found himself in an untenable situation that would have spelled disaster had one of his enemies just pushed an advantage. Despite this fact, Caesar's brilliant tactical mind always found a way out of even the darkest situations, and this book provides as much information on each battle as is currently available in the modern world. Gaius Julius Caesar was a brilliant tactician, and the five years covered in detail within detail his greatest efforts. Inside you will find a detailed discussion of the following battles: The Siege of Dyrrachium The Battle of Pharsalus The Siege of Alexandria The Battle of the Nile The Battle of Zela The Battle of Ruspina The Siege of Thapsus And More...

A “splendid” (The Wall Street Journal) account of one of history’s most important and yet little-known wars, the campaign culminating in the Battle of Actium in 31 BC, whose outcome determined the future of the Roman Empire. Following Caesar’s assassination and Mark Antony’s defeat of the conspirators who killed Caesar, two powerful men remained in Rome—Antony and Caesar’s chosen heir, young Octavian, the future Augustus. When Antony fell in love with the most powerful woman in the world, Egypt’s ruler Cleopatra, and thwarted Octavian’s ambition to rule the empire, another civil war broke out. In 31 BC one of the largest naval battles in the ancient world took place—more than 600 ships, almost 200,000 men, and one woman—the Battle of Actium. Octavian prevailed over Antony and Cleopatra, who subsequently killed themselves. The Battle of Actium had great consequences for the empire. Had Antony and Cleopatra won, the empire’s capital might have moved from Rome to Alexandria, Cleopatra’s capital, and Latin might have become the empire’s second language after Greek, which was spoken throughout the eastern Mediterranean, including Egypt. In this “superbly recounted” (The National Review) history, Barry Strauss, ancient history authority, describes this consequential battle with the drama and expertise that it deserves. The War That Made the Roman Empire is essential history that features three of the greatest figures of the ancient world.

This “valuable” summary of every significant battle from Augustus to Justinian I is “an indispensable reference guide for any student of the Roman military” (The NYMAS Review). In a single volume, Roman Empire at War catalogues and offers a brief description of every significant battle fought by the Roman Empire from Augustus to Justinian I (and most of the minor ones too). In lists arranged both alphabetically and chronologically, the information in each entry is drawn exclusively from Ancient, Late Antique, and Early Medieval texts, in order to offer a brief description of each battle based solely on the information provided by the earliest surviving sources that chronicle the event. This approach provides a concise foundation of information to which you can then confidently apply later scholarly interpretation presented in secondary sources in order to achieve a more accurate understanding of the most likely battlefield scenario.

n this new and authoritative history of the Roman republic, distinguished historian Klaus Bringmann traces the rise of a small city state near the Tiber estuary into a power that controlled the Italian peninsula and created the final Empire of antiquity, an Empire that was to become both the most enduring in the ancient world and to have the most far-reaching consequences for posterity. Whilst this book is chronologically organized, giving the reader a clear sense of the historical progress and dynamics of Roman republican history, it also offers a coherent and authoritative overview of the culture, economics, religion and military might of the Roman empire, presented in an original and stimulating way. Thoroughly referenced and illustrated throughout, with a wealth of primary sources from great Roman writers such as Cicero and Plutarch, A History of the Roman Republic will be essential reading for university students in history and classical studies. It will also appeal to a wider audience of general readers who are interested in the history of the Ancient world and its legacy.
