The image of the Roman legionary is as familiar today as it was to the citizens - and enemies - of the vast Roman Empire two thousand years ago. This book goes beyond the stereotypes found in popular culture to examine the Roman Army from the first armed citizens of the early Republic through the glorious heights of the Imperial legions to the shameful defeats inflicted upon the late Roman Army by the Goths and Huns. Tracing the development of tactics, equipment and training, this work provides a detailed insight into the military force that enable Rome to become the greatest empire the world has ever seen. As well as describing the changes in the army over the centuries, The Roman Army also sheds light on the talented men who led these soldiers in battle and the momentous battles fought, including Cannae, Pharsalus, and Adrianople. Illustrated with detailed maps, artwork and photographs, this volume provides a complete reference to the Roman Army from the 8th century BC to the period after the fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century AD.

The Roman Republic -- politically, militarily, and culturally -- was a state geared towards imperialism and conquest. This book will examine Roman warfare and imperialism in its most dynamic phase, from the beginnings of Roman expansion in central Italy through the wars against Carthage to the Roman conquest of Greece and the eastern Mediterranean. The book will look at war and conquest from the point of view of both the conquerors and the conquered, and it will consider the ways in which imperialism transformed Roman society. Each chapter will contain boxed sections on the army and the "face of battle" in that period, offering readers vivid glimpses inside the Roman war machine.

This Ancient Roman military history examines the famous Gallic Wars, in which Julius Caesar extended Roman rule across much of Europe. In 46 BC, Julius Caesar celebrated two historic victories: the conquest of Gaul and the defeat of his rival in the Roman civil war. This sweeping history details the decades of military conflict that led to this culminating celebration. Historian Michael Sage begins his narrative with the Roman Republic’s early forays across the Alps, clashing with the Gauls in what is now Provence. These battles, against one of ancient Europe’s greatest warrior societies, resulted in some of Rome’s heaviest defeats. This context makes all the more remarkable the dazzling success of the audacious campaigns, just half a century later, by which Caesar rapidly completed the initial conquest of the rest of Gaul. The subsequent revolts that occurred, culminating in the great unified rising under Vercingetorix, are also covered in detail, with the epic siege of Alesia as the dramatic climax. Michael Sage narrates and analyses all these campaigns, showing how the Roman war machine was ultimately able to overcome vastly superior numbers of Celtic warriors, to extend Rome’s rule from the Mediterranean to the English Channel.

A comprehensive guide to this remarkable ancient fighting force: “Groundbreaking insights into the Roman military . . . sumptuously illustrated.” —Love Reading The Roman military machine was pre-eminent in ancient times, projecting power across the known world over a vast chronology, and an increasingly huge and diverse geography. One of the most powerful instruments of war in the history of conflict, it proved uniquely adept at learning from setbacks, always coming back the stronger for it. In so doing, it displayed two of the most important traits associated with the world of Rome. Firstly grit, that key ability to remain steadfast and to overcome adversity even in the most challenging of circumstances, as faced for example by the Republic in the Second Punic War against Hannibal. Secondly, the ability to copy the successful technical and tactical innovations of their enemies, enabling the Roman military to always stay one step ahead of its opponents on campaign and in battle. In this grand tour, covering every aspect of the Roman military, leading expert Dr. Simon Elliott first provides a detailed background to the Roman Republic and Empire to provide context for all that follows. He then looks specifically at the Roman military in its three key chronological phases: the Republic, the Principate Empire, and the Dominate Empire. Next he forensically examines specific instances of the Roman military on campaign and in battle, and of its engineering prowess. Finally, he investigates the many enemies faced by the Roman Republic and Empire. This all provides a firm structure to enable the reader to come to grips with this incredible military machine, one whose exploits still resonate in the world to this very day.

Taking your sixteen year old son into northern Syria to do a bit of 'off the books' archaeology is not the smartest move, and when it coincides with Daesh's latest offensive in the region it gets even less smart.That's two more people fleeing Daesh's murderous advance."Okay, now's the time to do a world class impersonation of a rock" said Edward, trying to blink the sweat from his eyes. His heart was hammering like Thor and his stomach was a tumble dryer. He took a deep breath. Why had he brought Luke with him. What a stupid...At the same time, four SAS troopers are returning with a civilian physicist from a mission to a top secret Syrian government research facility. Flying two helicopters, they are inexplicably ordered to divert to rescue the archaeologist and his son."We've got two civilians in imminent danger on the ground, we need you to divert, Bravo Alpha Five Three. Over" said Sentinel."God's sake, Sentinel! We're fifteen minutes from the border. Over" said Rebus.And then they find themselves thrown back in time to the late Roman Republic. "I was only trying to be..." started Edward, but then there was a blinding flash that filled the interior of the Chinook. The entire helicopter slammed violently to the side."Oh shit!" shouted Freddy, fighting with the controls "Bravo Alpha Five Three, this is Bravo Alpha Five Four, we're going down... hard!"There was no response.Can this small band of disparate characters survive in the ancient world? Can four SAS troopers stand up to the mighty Roman war machine? Will they find their way back to their own time? Why are water-melons yellow? And did they have Snickers bars in Roman times?This is a fast paced, page-turning story with plenty of plot, but it's really all about the characters and the humour. Unless you're immune to laughter, you'd better make sure your medical insurance is up to date. As one reader put it "I laughed so hard I needed a kidney transplant."This first novel in the series is a compilation of the newly re-written 12 episodes of the Recoil series - no longer short, but totalling more than 97,000 words.

While copious amounts have been written about the Roman army, most study has focussed on the later Republic or the Imperial period when the legionary system was already well-developed. Here Dr Jeremy Armstrong traces the development of Rome's military might from its earliest discernible origins down to the First Punic War. He shows how her armies evolved from ad-hoc forces of warriors organized along clan lines and assembled for the city's survival, to the sophisticated organization of the legions that went on to dominate all of Italy and then (after the period covered) the entire Mediterranean world. The author reviews both the literary sources and the latest archaeological evidence to provide a fresh analysis of Roman military organization, equipment, tactics and strategy. He shows how Rome's military apparatus adapted to meet the changing strategic needs of new enemies and broader ambitions. This study of the origins of the Classical world's most formidable war machine will be welcomed by anyone with an interest in Classical, and especially Roman, military history.
