Customer Review:
I was looking for a basic grounding in Roman history and customs and Caesar's exploits in the 1st century BC. It came down to Freeman's and Goldsworthy's biographies. This one is 600 pages and Freeman's is 400 pages. In the end I decided to read both, beginning with Freeman.
Freeman's biography... more info

| | 4. |  | The Complete Roman Army
from Thames & Hudson
Price: $24.59
Customer Review:
This book is really just a compilation of several smaller works, but on a whole it's not a great primer on the Roman Army. Greater detail can be found in various older works. A comprehensive overview has yet to be written.
