Caesar's
Legion: The Epic Saga of Julius Caesar's Elite Tenth Legion and the Armies
of Rome
by Stephen Dando-Collins
"A unique and splendidly researched story, following the trials and
triumphs of Julius Caesar's Legio X –arguably the most famous legion of
its day– from its activation to the slogging battle of Munda and from Thapsus,
Caesar's tactical masterpiece, to the grim siege of the Jewish fortress
of Masada." –T. R. Fehrenbach, author of This Kind of War, Lone Star,
and
Comanches
They were the most famous and accomplished military unit of their day,
raised personally by Julius Caesar as the first step in his relentless
quest for glory and power. Caesar's Tenth Legion took the lead role in
all of his battles, from their bloody initiation in Spain and Portugal
to the conquest of Gaul, the invasion of Britain, and the battles of the
civil war. In Caesar's Legion, Stephen Dando-Collins provides an extraordinarily
detailed history of the Tenth Legion–its officers, its men, and its incredible
string of victories, which continued even after Caesar's death with the
Siege of Jerusalem.
Based on the author's thirty years of painstaking research into the
Roman military, using sources ranging from classical texts to tombstone
inscriptions, this unprecedented regimental history paints an uncommonly
vivid portrait of daily life in a Roman legion as it follows Caesar and
his men along the blood-soaked fringes of the Empire. It was here that
ambitious Romans built reputations through conquest, raw recruits became
hardened foot soldiers, and the Tenth Legion became a killing machine–marching,
digging, charging, ramming down gates, scaling battlements, storming through
towns and villages, and slaughtering anyone who stood in their way.
Throughout this harrowing tale, Dando-Collins reveals previously unknown
details about Roman military practices, Caesar's conduct as a commander
and his relationships with officers and legionaries, and the daily routine
and discipline of a Roman legion–from the legion buddy system to the banks
legions operated for their soldiers, from Rome's version of the U.S. Pentagon
to new information about the legion recruiting system. We learn what a
legionary had for breakfast, find out about his training, weapons, clothes,
and pastimes, and discover the brutal discipline conscripts endured.
From penetrating insights into the mind of history's greatest general
to a grunt's-eye view of the gruesome realities of war in the Classical
Age, this unique and riveting account sets a new standard of excellence
and detail to which all authors of history will now aspire. The Publisher
